20 minutes

OK-by now you may have seen some of the pictures from the Greensburg Tornado. It is almost incomprehensible the destruction.
I have been trying to imagine what I would grab if I had the warning the folks in Greensburg had-20 minutes. "Take shelter" warnings although not everyday common are familiar to folks here.
This one I take to heart and head to shelter. What of my earthly possessions do I take, or have ready to take, in the heat of disaster?? All of us were home together Friday night, Bri and Scott are safe(earthquakes?) in Calif, so that's one less worry. Do I take picture discs? Have I downloaded them all? What is irreplaceable?
'Things' come and go. Family, Friends and Faith. That is what is important.
Over and over that is what we hear from our Greensburg neighbors.
Pray for them and for their strength as they have much ahead of them.
What would you take if you had 20 minutes???

I would take a shower- because who knows how long it'll be till you get another one ;-)
Probably our laptop (pics and everything are on it) and my jewelery!
