Well... storm was... interesting...
86 mph winds
Started up around here at about 5pm... slowed down and stopped downpouring between 8-2. 2am I went to bed
2:30 I woke up startled, listening to the downpour that sounded like hail, or maybe a giant trying to play my house like a cymbal. I called down to Chris who yelled for me to get Taboo and get to the basement. We waited about ten minutes till the beatings on the house stopped, and went back upstairs.
After the adrenalin died, I went back to bed.
Today I wake up and let Taboo outside, like normal. She chases a squirrel around the fence of the house, like normal. Then she disapears, which wasn't quite so normal. The front of our fence is completely ruined. The wood is still in tact, but there's no way to connect it to the rest of the fence. It's completely fallen over and off.
Taboo, thankfully, is safe in the house, although a little upset cause she can't run around outside. Oh well. She'll deal with it. At least she's safe.
So our new project will be... building a new fence! Woo hoo...
At least Jasmin promised to help, with both the funding and labor.
At least we only lost the fence. Some people down the street lost their entire roof, or even house. There wasn't even a tornado... it was just crazy rain and wind.
Well, the pup is crying for my attention, so I should probably go.
