February Tornado

I'm blogging this that has nothing to do with Mallory, just to keep it in the record books. Tornado Feb. 20th 2014-Concord, IL. My sister took the photo of the year...in my opinion anyways. It's not every day you 1.) Witness a tornado...in Illinois...in February...with snow on the ground. 2.) Then capture that moment in such a great photo. Apparently, others thought the same because with the help of Jason's cousin...it went viral. I lost count on how many sites it went on (that we know of) but I believe it made Quincy, Jacksonville, Springfield, Chicago, St. Louis news channels as well as the Weather Channel, NBC, MSN & the Today Show. So pretty big names there sis...I do have to mention that my sister was TERRIFIED as the tornado was headed straight for the school where Grant was...so it took a bit to appreciate all the "publicity" and was more concerned about the kids and getting her nerves and heart back into her body. She said it was very surreal as she had reporters calling her off the hook. It was a nice 10 minutes of fame...that now can be Googled at anytime. Glad to report that no one was injured and very minimal damage done. God was with a lot of people that day.

 Above photo taken by Dana Renee Fricke of Concord, IL. lol!

 Here it is on the weather channel.

 Here it is on NBC News.

 Sochi Olympics, Dana Fricke, Michelle Obama...it's a good day for Concord, IL. Not sure but thinking this is going to put them on the map. Visitors Bureau better get ready....

This is the photo on NBC with this in the corner...not everyday you see your sister's name on a national news website.
