The McCarthy’s Have Capes

Saturday, June 7, 2014

We had a great time exploring Hannibal.  We got back to our rv right outside of Monroe City.  We were enjoying a nice evening and then we got the warning.  There were a series of thunderstorms with hailstones the size of baseballs coming our way.  Because it was a series of storms, we had a good chance of tornados and unfortunately we wouldn’t have any warning.  We should seek shelter.  So I called my friends Cindy and Kerry in Chicago.   It was 10:30PM and I was freaked out.  They were so awesome!  They steered me away from the storms, found a hotel, and stayed on the phone with me all night til I was safe and sound in Mexico MO 50 miles away!

We got there after midnight…Which was Griffin’s Birthday!!!!! He was able to wake up safe and sound because of our Chicago Heros!
