The guy in front of us wanted to stop in the road and gawk so we honked at him to move...we were sitting under a huge oak tree that was blowing all over the place and dropping branches and I'm just not ready to die today! We got home to find the wind had blown a piece of the lattice out of our deck railing and our heavy wood patio furniture had been blown over and the rain was blowing so hard it came in around one of our windows and blew the water on the wall beside it  guess we'll be needing a little caulk there...but, at least we made it home! I turned on the radar chanel and they said some gas pumps were blown over at the corner we just drove through so I know it had to be worse that direction. My boyz were safe but they weren't in their window when we got back! I feel bad, they must have been scared. The weather man keeps saying there is rotation in that storm but no reports of a tornado yet...well...I certainly have an opinion on that one! |
Wow, sounds like you had a time of it just getting home! Glad you got home safe and sound. Poor babies and you can't even explain to them what happened. Did ya give them plenty of TLC?????
I've never been around a tornado but hurricane winds can get pretty fierce! I've sat through some pretty windy days when one passes by. We usually just lose electric for a day or two........and a lot of leaves and small branches but nothing major. You best stay in and keep safe!!!!!
