The beatings just keep on coming.

Another night of severe storms went through the area last night - dropping 4 inches of rain once again - although with the 40-60 mph winds during the storm, I don't know how accurate a little rain gauge can really be! Luckily we didn't see the tornados that they did to the northwest of us.

The storm moved in around 10 pm and finally moved out about 4:45 am (yes, I was awake through pretty much all of it!!). The lightening was CRAZY! About midnight, when Chad and I thought we could close our eyes, this happened:



The whole house shook when it fell - we thought for sure it landed on the house! Thankfully, someone was looking out for us and spared our home. But, obviously we will be very busy today clearing it out so we can get out of our garage!!! And it doesn't sound good for later today weather wise as, once again, severe storms are looking to hit us again. Hopefully we'll see some nicer weather after this.


This is what the trench going down our driveway looks like NOW!!!!
