If we didn't have tornadoes here last night, we missed a good opportunity! Trees down all over, houses & barns damaged, steeple blown off a church, signs torn down, power outages.
Our neighbors tree fell across the road & onto our driveway, pulling down the power lines in the process. We lost power around 5:30 last night & it came back on at 1:30 this morning. There are thousands still without power. Driving from work to my parent's house to pick up DD was an adventure. I was on the interstate, with rain coming down so hard you just had to follow the taillights in front of you and drive about 55 mph, instead of 70. DH said the storm chased him home & he got there just in time to get his truck into the garage.
What a weather year we've had: Ice storms in February had our power off for days, rain throughout the spring, now high winds/tornadoes. Good-ness.
I'm just happy & blessed today that we're all safe & able to go on our merry way.
