Summer = Storm Time
Well, those of you from the Midwest know that right now is the prime season for severe storms.
So today during my main work time (nap time for the kids) all of a sudden the sky got dark, the hair stood up on my arms and it felt like *something* was sucking the air out of my house! I looked out the front window and debris was flying horizontally in front of my house... including siding from the neighbor's house.
I couldn't acutually get any decent pictures during the storm due to the fact that the wind was blowing up too much dust into my face, but I did go out after things had died down to shoot some of the damage.
Here are a few of the highlights:
Some pedestrians almost got hit by these transformers as they fell to the ground.
That big metal thing laying in a crumpled heap? It used to be the courthouse roof.
Luckily, the carnival workers had taken the decorative bits down from their Elephant Ear stands, or they'd likely have lost those to the wind.
Such Fun!

Wow!!!! That's crazy.
Glad you are all safe and sound. How many kids do you have?
I've got 2 1/2 year old twins -- Emily and Ian.
They're so understanding about Mommy wanting to go driving all over the place taking pictures, and they even point things out to me that they want me to shoot!
