Last Night's Storm

So, we had ANOTHER night without electricity. This crap is getting old. The night we got home from vacation, tho, was worse because the house was 90 + degrees and we couldn't even run a fan. I think I mentioned to Lyns when we were chatting last night that the sky was looking rather dark. Well, ... about 5 minutes later all hell broke loose. It flipped the patio table off the cement back by the pool. Yes, the umbrella was on but down. It bent that at a 45 degree angle. All the chairs were strewn and amazing of all it blew one of the skimmer covers off. Now, tell me how that happened? Weber's swing set was tipped over so I'm thinking it had to be a F1 tornado. ;) Lots of limbs and branches on the ground, too. Oh, and Big Al across the street lost a really big limb from one of his trees out front. They were on vacation and I think I heard him around midnight when they got home .... I'm not sure when the power came on, sometime between one and three a.m., we think. THANK GOD!

I cannot believe all of the crappy weather you guys have been through! I guess it's best to have it all in one summer and then maybe you'll have good weather kharma for the next few....just a thought. Lyns (I'm only putting my name on here in case it doesn't show up as me)
