• Nov. 1, 2007 - Monday 's Storm

Posted in Family Life
We had quite a storm here on Monday evening.  Our area is not known for weather, besides hot, hot, hot, fog, fog, fog but Monday we got a wonderfully strong thunderstorm.  The winds whipped up, the rain started and continued...hard..., there was hail, cloud to cloud lightening, and did I say WIND?

We lost a tree.  It landed on my Honey's beloved Jeep. 

We weren't able to get it off until Tuesday afternoon, and found there was very little damage to the Jeep.  The Lambies are having a wonderful time climbing in and cutting up the tree.
They even ate dinner Tuesday evening perched amongst the branches. I had been out supervising and assisting with the trees dissection and EmBlem  made beans and cheese burritos all by herself.  She wrapped them up and served them out and everything.  What a helper she is!
Our street flooded with all the rain, coving the street entirely and coming all the way into our yard.  The Lambies were astounded. The wind also destroyed the cover of our boat garage.  It ripped and slipped over the sides of the structure like a too-big skirt around the ankles of a toddler.  We'll have to figure out where to get another soon.  Don't want the boat exposed to the elements all winter!

Today is cool and foggy, and we are getting ready to snuggle down into winter!

Blessings,
Momma

Thank goodness you didn't have major damage to the Jeep! We've been experiencing quite a bit of wind and rain all week from Tropical Storm Noel.

Glad there was no sustaining damage to the jeep or boat. When things like this happen you realize how little you are in control. It's good to know God knows all about it though and it's all in his hands.

Have a blessed day with your lambies.

Oh boy, wasn't that storm a doozy! It was fun to watch the lightening, and hear the thunder.....the kids wanted to close the windows, but D and I wanted to continue hearing it. :) I've never before experienced constant rolling thunder, and such an intense "light show" before.....it was amazing to see God's creation of storms! :)

Praise God that the Jeep wasn't seriously damaged. And what a fun way to experience the loss of a tree!
