Storm chasers?

Two weeks ago we were in Valdosta having a great show, selling a lot of good  stuff.  We heard the intercom come on  announcing  that every  one had  to pack up and leave....now.  Riley helped Drew pack up and Becca helped us pack. We all left  as  quickly as possible with  the tornado chasing  us out of town.   Drew  left first but,  got behind us and his windshield wipers went out.  It took us over 2 hours, Mark's computer and a lot of prayers to get us all home safe. The Red Cross called sent us back to Valdosta the next day for our first  job with them.

Last weekend we did the peanut festival in Blakely.  Coming into town, we were listening to the radio and there was  tornado warnings  in all the counties that we were passing  through.  We could see the storm clouds forming all around and saw the lightning. We pulled into  the Days Inn.  We got out and saw emergency vehicles heading toward Kolomoki .State park, 5 miles away.  That is where we  would have stayed  if we plan to  camped  this weekend.

 The next day, when we got home from the show, we had another call from the Red Cross.  When  we called back, Brother Sam said that the storm  had hit sparsely inhabited areas and they did not need us this time.  I told him that he needed to call my cell phone.  Because we were in the middle of it again.  He asked me were we were going next and I told him Miami.  He said that he would call his daughter and tell her to batten down the hatch and get ready for a storm coming.

We do not have any plans for this next weekend.  Does any city out there want us to come for a visit.
