The tornado occurred on Lori's 47th birthday. Happy birthday to her, huh? Anyway, this picture was taken just a few hours (probably less than four) before the tornado. This is Lori with her stash-o-gifts. The wooden angel in her lap is the door decoration I'd sent to her. She hung it up right after the picture fest and never saw it again.
Cassie showed me these birthday pictures - the last ever taken in the upstairs of their home. She had one more picture on her phone that she took of Midnight in the downstairs bathroom while they were waiting for the storm warning to end...which never came.
Interesting side note that I'd not known before: Lori told me that when the word came circling about that said there could be a storm, Cassie went through the house and shut all the bedroom doors so that she would be able to find Midnight, should they have to go to the basement. Apparently she was known for hiding under beds and Cassie didn't want to have to dig her out. I see her woman's intuition is already in place.
