THAT was interesting.....


Well, I must say that yesterday evening was quite interesting. Tornadoes everywhere as well as idiots. Why is it that when there's bad weather, a fire, an accident, or some other catastrophe.......All the idiots come out of the woordwork and have to get in the dern way? Was driving to my Mom and Dad's house (they have a basement, we don't) which is 4 1/2 blocks away from my house.....Shouldn't take that long right? Nope, 5 flippin minutes. There is usually NO traffic down my street, but we had to wait for numerous vehicles to get out of the way before we could even leave the driveway!
Any of you people not from around here won't know where I'm talking about in this next part.......Brice had at least 2 large tornadoes on the ground in the space of about 20 minutes, there were several funnels spotted in the vicinity of Lelia Lake, there was a tornadoe cross Hiway 287 approximately 3 1/2 to 4 miles west of Clarendon (1/4 mile east of Martin Gin), several tornadoes spotted on the ground near The Castle (approximately 3 miles west/southwest of Clarendon) with damage reported, there were also numerous funnel clouds spotted south and southwest of Howardwick, and one semi truck was overturned by high winds.


At this time, there have been no injuries reported......Even the truck driver was alright. Oh yeah, several funnels reported in the Ashtola area as well as a grass fire at Ashtola. All this took place in the space of about 1 1/2 hours.
What was my son doing at this time? Wigging out. My Mom? Doing better then Ty, but still nervous. My Dad? Standing in the street looking up at the clounds like one was going to drop straight out of the sky so he could look at it. Me and Clyde? Sitting on the porch trying to stay dry watching everyone else walk around. I swear, the front door of my Mom's house hasn't been opened as many times in a year as it was in that hour and a half.

All Clyde (aka "Cornbread") really wanted to do was go and pee on the trees. Now, after all the excitement, Cornbread is a bit worn out.......

Lol, Poor Clyde you wouldn't even let him pee on the trees. Dixie didn't much care for the tornadoes we had, she was more interested in chasing Milk and Cookies around the basement. It is a smaller area and she can catch them down there. Lol.
