As Chris arrived home from work gigantic flashes of lightening occurred behind him and thunder began rumbling through the skies. It was like a scene out of a bad horror movie! Since the thunder and lightening we so close together all I could think of was him being struck by lightening so I told him to hurry up and get inside and let go of that metal screen door!
I had the windows open in the house and as soon as Chris was safely indoors the rain started coming down hard along with a very strong wind. Small loose papers that we had on the telephone table by the door and on our living room table suddenly began swirling around the room. I started to expect to see Mailboxes, posts and garbage cans flying around outside!
Talk about dramatic!
Chris ended up having to go outside again. This time to the backyard to take down the umbrella on our patio table. Strong winds have caused the whole table and umbrella to tip over before and we don’t feel like paying to replace the glass in our patio table.
Strange how the storm just suddenly picked up like that. We were expecting rain, but I don’t think we were expecting such a storm! How’s the weather in your area?
It’s starting to cool off just like it should at this time of year. We had over 6″ of rain (much needed) in 48 hours over the weekend and the event even made it on the weather channel…we never make the weather channel…lol
