Violent Storm

Monday was yet another rainy day, but as the day went on the weather warnings became more intense and rapid.

First the watches - then the warnings.

Severe Thunderstorms with winds at 60 miles per hour, hail, damage to roofs, etc.

I called the kids at home and had them bring in all the cushions, then I called back and had them bring in all the chairs so they wouldn't blow away.

It was a terrible storm - one that wouldn't end.

It started around 2:00 pm and continued until the next morning around 6:00 am ...  Lightning, rain, thunder, everything - all night long.

When it was over we had over 12 inches of rain in our rain bucket - incredible!!!

I'm so thankful Robert and Marissa were home to take care of our outside furniture.  Nothing at our house was damaged, however, several neighbors and friends had 3" of flooding in their basements, trees down, stuff missing, etc.
