Sometime after 7:pm on Saturday, a storm moved in. It was like a huge black "lid" over us. The wind picked up, and I know we had some rain. It does not look like it this morning. I felt like this was the worst wind I have seen here in over ten years, but the tornado sirens did not go off. It was a straight line wind coming out of the west. Storms usually do not bother me, but I was about ready to seek shelter in the community. Bob was already dressed for bed though. I only have one or two chairs blown over, and the trash can. One plant was blown down and out of it's pot. I just got the hanging basket I wanted to put it in so I will take care of that here in a bit. Bob is sleeping and I took a nap too, after church and lunch. The storms can stay away for now, as far as I am concerned.

I have seen storms in America on the telly. A lot worse than they are here. I would be scared of storms if I was there

It started to sprinkle when I got to church this morning, and it looked dark, but the storm last night was all we got (thank goodness). It sounds like you got a humdinger of a weather event. I’m glad you didn’t have major damage.

Thunderstorms scare me due to the fear of blackouts.

Just as I was reading this a big gust of wind blew in here. However, although it was drizzling a bit, it seems that this storm has passed us by. There may be one later though.
