Severe Weather



Last night we had a severe storm.  The sheet lightning lit up the sky.  The rain came down so hard it sounded like hail.  It just went on and on.

I was in my motorhome, of course.  I was frightened.  I wrapped myself up in blankets thinking at least if things went flying I would be somewhat protected.  I have heard people comment that a tornado sounded like a freight train.  That is what it sounded like from my perspective.  Apparently the sound was caused by the unending thunder.  My heart was pounding.  Finally I ran into Doug's house.  I couldn't take it anymore.  When it moved east I went home.

This has been a year of severe weather on the prairies.  If I never experience this kind of weather again, it will satisfy me!
