Day 6

Last night was crazy. The rain was coming down so hard. A freshman came to our room asking us what those sirens meant. We told him not to worry. There was tornado warnings all over West Michigan. I was more worried about my family and friends back home then myself. I don't get scared during thunderstorms. I heard the sirens, but no one came to get us, so I just went to sleep. I slept through most of it. I read that 27,000 homes in Michigan lost power last night. About 16 or 17000 of them were in Kent county alone. I also read that downtown Grand Rapids was in the path of the tornado. I live dangerously close to downtown. The only thing that kept me up for a bit last night was my concern for the people I love in Grand Rapids. I don't even want to think about what could have happen to them.
