Like most of the rest of the state, we were hit with storms tonight. Thankfully we were well-prepared and knew they were coming so we could take cover (except for a few pictures of course!). The wind was blowing so strong that the rain came down sideways. While the sirens started going off, I had time to quickly take down all my hanging baskets and put them in hiding.
We anxiously watched the sky turn funky colors and then prayed the rain would slow down so our pool wouldn't cause a "flash flood" in our own backyard! It sure filled up tonight. Yes, that is the solar cover rolled up in the background, and no, we didn't cover the pool because this cover doesn't secure around the entire perimeter and with the strong winds, it surely would've ended up in the neighbors yard likely torn to shreds.
Regan stayed amazingly calm throughout the ordeal. We could talk her through it and reason well enough for her to understand there wasn't a tornado outside but "just in case" we needed to stay downstairs. Sidney, on the other hand, was so scared it was sad. She clung to me in fear and was shaking with uncertainty. She kept saying "nornado home" telling the tornado to go home.
We are safe and sound, no damage here. Not even hail that would could find.
Whew, made it through that one!
