A sound you don't want to hear

Birds singing, wind blowing through new leaves, people walking past the house -- these sounds I enjoy hearing as the weather warms. But this time of year also reminds me of a horrible sound I heard years ago just after my young son went out for a bike ride.

I was working in the garage when he buckled up his helmet and hopped on his bike. "Bye, Mom!" he said as he took off down the driveway and onto the sidewalk. Within seconds I heard it -- a desperate horn blast. I tore out of the garage and down the street toward the direction my son went. I got to the street corner at Woodcreek and Morningside just in time to hear my son saying "sorry" to a driver as he climbed out from under her SUV. He had been crossing the street, and she had turned left into him.

The front wheel of his bike was frighteningly bent, but all of his body parts were attached and working well. My son -- and the driver -- were lucky that day. However, every day I see people speed past my house, roll through stop signs or cut their turns short. An accident waiting to happen? It can happen here. It has happened here.

As more of our neighbors are out playing, walking and jogging in this beautiful weather, let's all remember that we are driving through residential streets. No matter how hurried we are, we have the time to be safe, keep our neighbors safe and enjoy the sounds of spring.

Disaster Relief

RE: Disaster Relief

God forbid what happened in Piner, KY would ever happen in our community.  It is, however, a good idea to be as prepared as possible.  It sure makes one re-think backing up storage of important information and things in the home.  Some from within our community have had disaster relief training and others are engaging in it.  Let's stay connected as a community so as to be able to pull together in any time of need.  Below is some info about a day I spent helping a tornado victim down in Piner. 

RE: A little help for Tornado victims

Hi,

Today, Bill Leatherbee and I were privileged to serve a family in Piner, the Milner's, that survived the big storm. Let me assure you that the power of these storms are something to behold. Rob Milner made it to the basement but his wife Margie hid in a closet. That part of the house was the only part still standing. She told me she looked up saw sky and thank God that it wasn't her time yet. And it wasn't. We cut and stacked downed trees and helped in a small way but all of these folks need support and prayer as those that survived try to re-build their lives. It was an eye opener and a blessed experience all at the same time.

Few pics from our day helping the Milner's (victims of the Piner Tornado). At the beginning showing the ridge acrossed the road where three brick homes were but were completely, (I mean completely) gone. God help all those trying to rebuild and may they lean heavily on your grace and strength.

Siren Policy of Boone Co

RE: When the Co Sirens blow:

With the severe weather expected tomorrow, please note that Boone County has recently changed its siren policy. The sirens will sound only during a tornado warning. A story in the Enquirer newspaper today contained incorrect information. I contacted the reporter and he said he would run a correction and confirmed that Boone County sounds emergency weather sirens only during a tornado warning.

Stay safe!
