Thunderstorms

I hope last night was the end of it. Although I doubt it because we’ve got about a month to go before tornado season ends. We’ve had to wake up at 2-4 am every early morning since Monday because of the bad thunderstorms. Last night was the worst of it. Brian got up and looked up the radar and all surrounding counties including ours had a Tornado Warning. Luckily though it was just straight wind, I think up to 87mph. Still bad, and bad enough to do lots of damages in our neighborhood. Both neighbors on either side had their fences blown down. There are roof remnants everywhere. Trees were blown down. There was one house down the street that had a trompoline sitting in the front yard. The street behind us took the worst hit I think, or at least it was the worst that I saw. My commute to work was also tricky but luckily traffic wasn’t so bad. The main route that I take was closed because the power lines were down. In fact I even drove by a power line that was sitting on the street. Luckily though, our house survived. At least it seems that way. The only thing that happened was that the patio chairs moved a bit, one of the solar lights was uprooted, and worst of all the little trees in our back yard looks like the wind is still blowing. I think we should still check out the roof to make sure there isn’t any damages, especially from the hail we got the other night.
