It has been storming off and on here for the past few weeks. Usually a storm rolls in, the sky becomes completely dark, it rains for about five minutes, and then it's clear skies again.
Well, one late afternoon we had a storm that lasted a little longer than usual...maybe 15 minutes. It rained really hard and was very windy outside, but it really didn't seem like that big of a deal and again the clear skies came right back. The power did go out and we had no power for a few hours. Houston with no A/C is a little miserable. The thunder was really loud (hence the covered ears)but both of the kids handled it very well.
Although at the time the storm didn't seem like a big deal, the next day as I was driving around town I saw lots of trees that were down, uprooted or broken in half, debris, etc. I think Al and I need to get better prepared for this weather. We don't even have a flashlight!

How interesting! I sure do love a good storm. They really are my favorite type of weather. A good rain/Thunderstorm! Ahhhh...Is it that extra humidity that brings on such an intensity we don't see as often in UT? Cute photo, too, BTW.
Jenny you better get onto those 72 hour kits! You'll be prepared for whatever comes your way! The kids are looking so great! hope you had a great time in Utah, but now you can settle into your new home!
