Storm Weather

We had fun watching the storm last night that was south of us (lots of lightning and rolling thunder) but I had no idea there had been tornados 30 minutes away until I got to work this morning and my coworkers were talking about it. There were 4 tornadoes in Austin, MN which is southwest of us. Some cars and trailers flipped over, a lot of trees fell and some roofs and houses were damaged as well. It is crazy to me that we barely had any rain at our house and then a town fairly close to us had such strong storms! Isaac and Lagaytha have been here this week helping us get things done with our house and unfortunately, we only had one nice day while they were here. They leave today so hopefully, the weather is calm for their flight.

I think the creepy part of tornadoes is in that video. No wind, no rain, just calm. But yet, from your pics there was obviously wind. The calm before the storm....creepy.

Sometimes we can be oblivious to storms that assail us.
