Man here, I spent 3 hours reading the blog last night and couldn't stop sobbing post after post. It's breaks your heart.

I do know this family, and Anna and her family are never far from my thoughts and prayers, especially during stormy times such as last night......

And here too.......

I just spent an hour reading the blog from Jack's mom. Tears are flowing freely over here.

I have been thinking about Jack and his mom all day today too. I don't even know that family, but that accident just haunts me. In a why, god, why? kind of way...

I remember those storms. Crazy flooding. Schools were closed for a day the first week. Some idiot went tubing down Lee Hwy. lots of people were laughing, making jokes of building arks. And then that story broke on the news. Tragic.

I am from Vienna, and remember when that little boy died. It was all over the local news. I just read that blog post...absolutely heartbreaking. And I remember thinking when I first heard about it: "why was a kid out playing in this weather?". Reading that post has never made me feel so ashamed for judging . My heart goes out to her tonight.

I am from Vienna too and my heart breaks for this family- I cried so much reading her blog..

Can someone fill me in? What happened?

I am one of the pps. During a wild storm last fall, it came out on the local news that a little boy had drowned while playing in a creek in Vienna. I teach at a local MS, so I was concerned it was one of my kids, and I paid very close attention to the story-that is why I remember it so well. I'm not sure if it made such an impression on others. At the time, I remember wondering what the h@ll a kid was doing playing out in that kind of weather, so the storm was really bad (much worse than this one, at least here in Vienna). Scroll back to page 2 of this for the blog post, but beware-it is heart crushing and you will probably cry.

We've been under tornado warnings 2 or 3 times since this afternoon.

They were issued because of visible rotation and funnel clouds. I don't think any actually touched down. We've had pouring rain on and off since this afternoon and bad thunderstorms.

Honestly I didn't take cover every time, I was just prepared to if needed. It isn't the first time we've had multiple tornado warnings with no actual tornado touching down.
