What a night! We shutdown production in the fab last night around 10pm because of a storm moving in. The lights were already flickering and the storm wasn't even here yet. Michael and I went out to our break area and it seemed calm outside. The news was on tv showing that a big storm was rolling in. Still wasn't seeing the reason for the flickering lights until suddenly the tv went out and shortly after the electricity went too. Then the wind hit hard. I really thought it was a tornado in the courtyard of X-fab.
Everyone was sent home at 1am. I don't think there were many vehicles that made it off X-fab property without windows broken out. The truck had both drivers side windows broken out and the back window. We went straight home from work to check on things at the house. Thankfully everything was ok at home. We waited around until Michael's parents would be up and took the truck to park in their garage until we can get things done with the insurance. Thank you to his parents for letting us borrow their garage and a vehicle and to my parents for taking care of the insurance call today while we slept and prepared for another night of work.
My parents arrived safely in Corpus last night. My Papaw is in ICU. Say a prayer for him! I just received a text with a picture of him giving a thumbs up, so he is looking much better!! :)
