Stormy weather
Scary stormy weather last night. Lying in bed, I could see the constant flashes of lightning going on and off like flash bulbs. Kind of like heat lightning, but no heat. I was in bed early as usual because I get up with the chickens! At ten o'clock, my husband woke me and the dogs and said we needed to head for the basement. The sirens were blaring! We got downstairs, dogs and all, and the storm passed, short-lived, thank goodness.

You are so right about the lightning. I too went to bed early and had to get out of bed,open the window and look at what was going on out there. Then I could here the Mokena sirens..soon the cats were in the room with me..Webbie, the oldest was particularly in a dizzy circling his tail...Then our sirens went off..try to corral cats...I just led and they eventually followed. Doesn't it send a thrill through you..Mother Nature?
Storms are beautiful and scary aren't they? The winds were bad enough that I thanked goodness the trees were down. Those dead branches would have snapped right off.
Odd, I saw the weather warnings and just went to bed. Missed the lightening show. Heard the winds, but I get blustery winds coming off country fields that can knock items off shelves if the windows are open quite often. Glad all are safe.
