Okay, so we're really on the edge of Tornado Valley (at least from what I remember) but lately we've been getting storm after storm at our little house! We have a ranch and back before LJ we used to huddle in our closet (okay I used to huddle in the walk-in closet) Tim, being the man he is, would hang by the windows and watch the news station...but alas...now that we have LJ I realize my walk-in closet haven is not really the best place to be since one side of it hits an exterior. So now we go to the very small section of what you can call our "hallway". Again, I grab pillows and whatever and Tim hangs by the windows tempting fate and watching the news...although now that we are within sight of the TV he'll sit with me sometimes:)
So back to today...I get home, take a 15 minute nap, greet Tim when he gets home...and then look outside. It's thundering and although the front of the house looks like a gorgeous summer day, the back looks fierce. Thunder starts and lightening so of course we start up the grill (yeah, located at the back of the house) and Tim begins to grill in the lightening while I hang with LJ, grab some stuff for our "safe haven hallway" and start and stop the stove to grill onions (as the news would say the storm would hit the house by 6:59 I'd shut off the stove...it didn't hit until 6:20 (don't worry, they recalculated) so I started it back up again)...And then all hail broke loose! Check out my pics...I thought my camera was in the car so this is probably about 30-45 minutes after the storm hit...Lots and lots of hail!
