Severe Thunder Warning

Last night we were sleeping peacefully when ll of a sudden the wind howling outside woke me up. It was so loud that it was starting to scare me so I got up to go bring in the things that were on the porch. As I opened the blinds I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was raining cats and dogs and the wind was whipping and the sky was lit up like it was the middle of the day because of the lightning. So I went and got Blake to come and help me. The sattelite dish that was out there on the riling had almost blown off. Blake had to really hold on to it to be able to bring it in. It was so crazy. We looked up the weather on the internet and it said that the winds were gusting up to 70 miles per hour !!!!! I was so scared that a tornado was going to whip through and carry us back to Idaho or beyond. And of course the girls slept right through it all. Here are some pictures of the rain and then of Blake trying to get the dish and then of him drenched when he came back in.

HOLD ON!! Dang that looks scarey! Although, it wouldn't be a bad thing if it brought you back to Idaho--wink wink!!

Okay, that's freaky! Is it tornado season there? I have to tell you they had a tornado in Soda Springs two days ago. Kinda crazy, huh? It's good to hear how you're doing! I hope the weather cools down for you!

That would freak me out too. Did the rain sting when it hit you? I will stick my head out the window next time we are going down the road at 70mph to see what it feels like. Love you tons be safe.
