Tempest

Well, I do love a good storm. However...seeing tornado warnings just before my power goes off while I'm up in an attic...a little more ... well exciting, who am I kidding.

Wind, hail, the works - then I felt the house shake so I looked outside to this:

There actually were tornadoes in the area last night, but here mostly strong winds and lightening. My poor landlord's car is absolutely totalled. My car was missed by about half a foot. My landlord was ok, and everyone ran out to help her rescue things from the wreck.

I'm sure other streets had trees down, but ours was a magnet for people. Eventually I went outside again and met my lovely neighbours, who handed out wine while we chatted in the drizzle.

I woke up at my normal time despite being alarm-less - but I guess the chain saws would have done it. Clean-up is underway.

Time for work. Good morning everyone.
