Well, what a wonderful evening we have had here in tornado alley. It was the two year old grandsons turn to spend the night. We had just eaten our pok chops, mashed taters, white gravy and corn on the cob...when mother nature unleashed a fury of a storm.
Funnel clouds reported all over the tri state area, especially here. It was dark as midnight at 6:00 pm with torrential rain.
So, we take ourselves and Joshua to the basement. We couldn't make him stay with us in the safest area of the basement, so we just wrapped him pappoose style in an afghan and held him in our laps until he finally went to sleep.
I hope you rode it out, Libby. I don't think anyone had any major damage around here, but roads are closed because of fallen trees and flash flooding.
grannie, I need to stock a package of Depends in my basement. LOL
It seems to be past us. It wasn't as bad as it appeared. It was worse furthur to the north. These storm systems are indeed unnerving. I'm glad you have a basement. Wish I did. I will definitely keep that in mind looking for a place in Mountain Home. People aren't too big on basements here though. Probably because of the flooding. Just a guess. We're still getting spurts of thunder and lightening, but it isn't awful.
