Storm Damage and Health Report - Day 25

Tweet

Yesterday was quite a day around the old homestead. Winds were high and the rain came down. There were three tornadoes about an hour to the south of me. Lots of trees down, power outages all over from what I learned in church this morning and saw along the curbs as people had large cut up trees/branches on the curbs. I haven't heard yet about any injuries from the storm and tornado damage. However, as a result of the power outage, while I was out doing my emergency run for my son, I saw an accident on my way home. Someone didn't wait their turn at the non-working traffic light. A van was turned over and many people were helping the people in the van to get out before the police showed up. One police car got there as I turned the corner on my street. There was another car in the middle of the intersection. I don't know which vehicle caused the accident. I can say with timing, I just missed being part of that accident as it happened after I went through the intersection which is half a block from my son's work, McDonald's. I didn't see my son when I delivered the pizzas, as he was at another McDonald's unloading a truck from the one he works at with all the freezer items so the food won't go bad. I don't know how long the power was out. I need to ask him when it came back on. Needless to say, it was crazy around here the whole day. I missed being a part of the power outage by one block. I ended up going all the way downtown before I found the ATM working at my bank. I was going to go to a gas station ATM, but the one I finally found working was close to my bank, so I just went there and then went to get the pizzas for my son's crew. My brother called to wish me a happy birthday, and I learned he had a tree down in his back yard. Half is still standing. He's grateful it didn't fall on the house. A neighbor has already helped him cut it up and it's on the curb. At church this morning, a gentleman showed damage to his car. He had just gotten in the house when the storm hit and many trees came down. I think he said it was at his cottage. He said the roads were littered with fallen trees and one came down on his car. He also has a pontoon. I think the pontoon was okay, but it was found down the beach and their dock was no longer. I'm grateful everyone I know came through it safely. Today we have the evidence of the storm. Skies are blue with nice high white clouds and it's going to be a very nice low 80s F day with a cool breeze. As for what I ate. I didn't eat a lot, but what I ate was loaded with calories. I made my apple nut crunch. Nuts are good for you but have a lot of calories. No sodium, which is good, so my sodium for yesterday is awesome. I also didn't work out, so I didn't burn any calories yesterday. Calories: 2804 Sugar: 67.5 Carbs: 172.36 Protein: 87.5 Sodium: 508 Fat: 191 Today is another non-workout day. Though the numbers for today should be better. It's pot roast Sunday. How was your day yesterday? I know many of you had sweltering temperatures. Did you also have storms? Thanks for reading. Image courtesy of Pixabay. I didn't go out and get storm pictures.
