Scary, huh? The National Weather Service has confirmed that an F-2 tornado touched down in Deerfield (2 towns away from us) on Thursday, July 24th. This was the first-ever tornado to hit New Hampshire; it barreled through a total of nine towns. Y'know what's scarier? A 57 yr. old Deerfield grandmother was killed shielding her 3 month old grandson from the howling winds; rescue personnel discovered her body amid the rubble of her home when they heard a baby crying. She was babysitting him. The baby was hospitalized for a few days but seems to be fine now. The rescue workers had to go door-to-door searching for any injured people. We're still reeling from the shock.
On a happier note, I hope Adam enjoyed his birthday festivities.
