Summer storms 6/24
Just had quite a storm blow through here a couple hours ago. They issued a tornado warning just a few miles south of here so we were all in the basement watching the news. Even Lucy got a bit freaked out. The power never went completely out, but it flickered a few times. In about 25 minutes we got over an inch of rain (and hail). 1.10in. total. The hail that came down wasn't too big - about dime size. Our little pond overflowed, and the rivers formed on either side of the house.
Afterwards we drove around town to see how things held up. Mostly everything was ok, but just about a mile south of us there were a lot of limbs down, and in one case a tree had come down covering Akron Rd. A transformer had also been snapped off of the pole and was laying on the ground. Don't know if it was live or not, but I wasn't going to find out. There was a good samaritan in his red pickup on the road there signaling oncoming cars of the danger of the tree over the road. Apparently someone didn't believe him and drove right into the tree.
I put some of the photos up that I took around here after the storm.
what, no mention of today's adventure? LOL I'm disappointed in you. :p i took some pictures of the storm myself today, but i haven't uploaded them yet to see how they came out. :)
That's wild, we had some really bad storms too. They issued some tornado warnings in Georgia but that had pretty much blown itself out by the time it got up here. Still we had massive rain and lots of wind and lightning. I managed to get home from work at almost the exact instant it started and got soaked in the 10 feet to the door!
