We had a 45-minute wild storm roll through here at about 3:30 or 4 p.m. today. It added a lot of drama to an otherwise normal, boring-ish day! The wind, the rain, the hail, the lightning, the booming thunder - at some points I was even scared, as I was telling the girls to NOT be scared! Our backyard flooded and streamed out our front yard to the street and the street was a river, pulling our garbage cans with it, since it's trash day around here! Our power went out while I was standing in the garage, with the garage door half opened, to film the bizarre weather. Obviously, once the power went out there was no way to get the garage door down without doing it manually, but my car was in the way and the door was only HALF open, so I couldn't move my car. SO, I had to climb to the top of my car and manually unhook the garage door to the opening mechanism, then close the door manually. It was interesting. Made me feel really handy - kinda reminded me of a modern day version of when the characters from Little House on the Prairie encountered a storm or blizzard or something and had to hunker down after locating all their animals and locking down their shutters. I have to admit, it was fun.
