D&C 38:30 says "...but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear."
Today we got a little glimpse of that. Our little, itsy bitsy town was listed on the news among other towns as being under a tornado warning. We had about 15 minutes warning. It was just my mom, the girls and I at home (my dad wasn't home from work yet and Mr. N's safely in Europe). I was grateful for that. My mom and I both went and grabbed our 72-hour kits and bunkered down. We were fully ready in about 10 minutes. I didn't really expect a tornado, but it felt wonderful to know we were prepared! I felt oddly calm about everything. Of course I was really nervous about the prospect of a natural disaster, but I was calm because I knew we were prepared! It was worth all the time and effort.

Great reminder! I'm glad everything was fine.
We actually went through our emergency to go bags just last night and I thought about you the whole time because I remember your post on getting your stuff ready and having enough water for your girls and whatnot. I'm glad you all were safe!
Scary! I need to get our 72 hour kits. I've been thinking about that a lot lately. This is a good reminder. Glad you're all okay!
