Last night after everyone got settled into the house after spending time outside after supper in the pool and enjoying the sunny weather, a storm blew in. FAST! I mean we were just sitting watching T.V. when all of a sudden it started pouring outside. Then the wind blew in. We didn't even have a chance to save anything outside that was not tied down. Two of our pots on the deck blew over and the patio table almost went over. Like I said, we didn't have a chance to act or we would have had the umbrella laying down so the wind wouldn't catch it. And we woke up this morning to......
A shutter on Lexi's playhouse broke; but can be repaired.
One of Grandpa's twirlies across the street in a neighbor's yard.
Our flagpole hanging off the house by one remaining screw; still thinking of how to fix that.
Everything on our front porch drenched; the rugs squishy, the blankets on the rocket soaked; will be dragging everything out to the sun to dry.
HOWEVER......thanks to Shelly staking down Lexi's cabana, it survived and did not blow away. Who knows how far that would have gone.
But, at least the electricity did not go out even with some nasty lightning and thunder and we are all safe and sound.
