First it turned off cold, then warmed up with a chance of rain. By the time I got off work Sunday you could "feel" the storm coming. The humidity at work was so high that the paper would barely go through the printers. By 4pm Sunday evening the storms started popping up.
Our sky went completely black, tornado alarms went off and Kaya grabbed her Ipad, Bella and a blanket and we headed to the closet. Steve checked on the weather while we stayed in the closet in case.
Round one was completely freaky. The skys went completely black, the wind howled and it rained. Then suddenly it stopped, the clouds parted to let the sun out and then it was like the black clouds gobbled up the sun!! We knew when it did that and got completely still it was bad! A tornado touched down just a few miles from us. Thankfully no one was hurt.
Round two for us was mainly rain and wind but did put a tree through a woman's house the next town over.
Eth and Em called to check on us after it hit them and we called to check on them after it hit us!! Very thankful that even though the tornado hit just the town over from them that they were ok!
Interestingly enough when the storm hit here the barometric pressure was so high that it actually popped canning lids on sealed jars!!! That is some scary stuff when you put it all together.
Very thankful we were safe, our thoughts go out to those in IL that were not so lucky and to the family of the person that died in Washington IN.
Mother Nature sure does what she pleases when she pleases...and lately the weather has been insane!
