Storm

This afternoon I was napping in my bed, when I was awakened by the sound of thunder, and within a few moments three scared little girls in bed with me. I didn't think much of it, but then we started hearing what we thought was hail, so I got up and looked out the window, to see that the noise was parts of our trees breaking off and hitting the house. A moment later, I saw one of our smaller trees snap right off and fall. I figured I'd better move us to another room so if a tree fell on the house, it wouldn't be on us!
That was pretty much the end of it, other than the power was out for a few hours. We improvised a dinner on the gas stove and ate by candlelight, and the power came on right as we were finishing up. Here are some pictures of the current state of our yard. Cleanup time tomorrow!
