| We were just finishing supper last Sunday when the sky began to rapidly grow dark. The entire family trooped out onto the back deck to witness the onslaught of this sudden storm. |
 |
| K6 and K8 |
 |
| The wind was blowing up to 60 miles per hour according to weatherman. This giant sycamore tree out back gave off two distinct "cracks". We stood breathless expecting it to crash over into the pasture. The storm came out of the northwest and was blowing toward the southeast which is toward the sunny sky on the left of photo. |
 |
| Amazingly it didn't, which means we will have to cut it down, or let the next big blow take it down. |
 |
| The rain started to fall. Our goats don't like getting wet, so they were already in their shelter. The sheep usually stay out in the rain, but this time they were heading for shelter. Darlin and her calf weren't far behind either. |
 |
| K6 and K2 before being driven away from the west side of porch because the rain started blowing horizontally in on them. All in all, a pretty exciting end to an otherwise peaceful and restful Sabbath day. We certainly needed the rain on our fields and in the pond. |
The boys, baby, and I were in Branson when the storm hit. Nothing happened there, but John got to sit in the dark at home with the other two for an hour or two. It split our neighbor's tree in half and they had to have the rest of it removed yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOh yea, I totally forgot to mention the power outage! Ours was 2 hours as well (different electric company on our side of county). Got out the candles and our boys played game of Nerts with their cousins. K2 jokingly wanted to light a fire in the wood burning stove to add more light, but everyone vetoed the idea of generating all that heat.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteI was at my grandparents house when the storm hit, but it wasn't that bad! : O
