It really was a miracle. What happen was just this.

The wind began to switch. The house to pitch and suddenly the shingles started to unhitch.
Just then the wind, picked up the Umbrella and threw it cross the field, landing in some sticks.
 
We had a microburst hit my parents house today while we were outside doing yard work. Well at least Shelbie and the boys were outside while I was in the bathroom and missed out on all the movie action.
I did however hear a loud bang which sounded like lightning struck the house. 
We had just cleaned the entire patio and this is what we were left with. It took just a few seconds, to destroy everything that we worked for. Both babies woke from their naps and well it took much longer to get everything done that we wanted.
 The wreckage.
 The S-tiles all disheveled, this is what it looks like on the other sides of the house as well. 

 All our hard work scattered in seconds.
 Our only injury. 
Shelbie was trying to roll up the umbrella before the burst hit and before she new it the tiles flew off the roof and hit her legs.  Then when she looked up our 2nd umbrella lifted up in the wind twirled around and lightly landed in the sagebrush.
 Hudson started screaming because the surfboards that we bought for the slip n slide were picked up in the tornado winds, and before they knew it they were specs in the sky. 
Chamberlain claims the boards landed safely on the mountain.
Our Umbrella in the sticks. Perfectly unharmed.
 This is where Shelbie was standing.

The miracle was Shelbie only got a few scratch's (she claims a dent) and the boys were completely untouched.
They were outside standing near Shelbie and nothing happend to them. 
We are so blessed.
After it was all said and done. 
Chamberlain told us "Grandpa is going to be so mad at that wind when he gets home."

That microburst completely took an entire (large) tree out at my parents house. Craig and I watched it blow across the yard and we thought we were in Kansas.
