So our morning walk was canceled today. Not any fault of ours though. Around 5:35 AM the warning sirens went off. I had heard the thunder about five minutes prior and new that thunderstorms were forecasted for today. Not really knowing what the weather was doing outside, we heeded the warning sirens, took a blanket and a flashlight, and headed down to the basement. After about 10 minutes, we were tired of sitting on the floor and our curiosity about the conditions outside were mounting. We figured the storm had mostly passed, but when we turned on the radio, we heard there was a tornado warning for our county that was set to expire within the next 10 minutes. Luckily nothing happened. No hail, no tornados. Just a lot of thunder, lightening, strong winds, and heavy rain. This was a piece of cake compared to that storm I drove through a few weeks ago...I was inside this time instead of in a car by myself!
Damage report: One little tree branch and a bunch of trash from our neighbors bin. Today is unfortunately trash day, and he set his out last night. The lids flew open, and the trash blew out into our yard. Our neighbor is a piece of trash himself, so we figured that we'd have to pick it up ourselves. To our surprise and amazement, he picked it up (or made one of his kids do it) during a break in the storm.
