Grateful to have made it through the storms… via /r/gratitude

Our state has seen serious weather over the past 24-48 hours, ranging from ice storms in the north that have paralyzed entire cities and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands, to tornadoes and severe thunderstorms further south, which have come with their own form of damage and risks. I'm seeing photos online of incredible amounts of damage from these storms.

Very grateful we received only heavy rain and a couple very strong thunderstorms, while tornado sirens were going off in cities all around us. I've heard of a couple of tornado touchdowns, but as far as I know, the damage has been moderate.
