Storm?? oh, yes!!

Thanks to those of you who have expressed concern about us as a result of the Storm Monday night. Yes, it certainly was quite a "treat" for us out here. We had ground covering hail, in addition to LOTS of wind & rain. I'll get some pictures posted for you here when I get a chance. We have a daily "TMT" program here....(Ten Minute Trainers) .. for the staff and it just so happens that the TMT that started on Monday was "twist & shout"....... which as you can imagine has to do with tornadoes, and the upcoming 'potential' (insert REAL) threat of inclement weather that we can experience at this time of the year. What better way to get the whole thing started than real life demonstration!! There is always a lot of discussion about what to do, where to go, what to do w/ the pets, etc. It gives staff time to think out all of our emergency plans and get cemented into their heads what exactly they are to do so that everything becomes more automatic to them. However, you never really know what you will do in an emergency until the time actually comes so Monday's storm put it all as just a tad bit more 'real' for them. I'm happy to report that only one big 'ol tree was our only casualty!!
