We had a strong storm blow through the metro yesterday.  It was around noon and was dark as night outside.  The kids told us later that they were “hiding” from the storm.  They were in the storm shelter.  I was at work on the 5th floor watching it roll in.  At one point it was raining so fast and furious that we couldn’t see the trees just outside the window.  I was a little worried.  Just a teensy bit.  I got out of my office and went into our kitchen away from the windows.

We went for a walk last night, and there were trees across the path to the lake again.  It was only a few…maybe three trees that were down.  Lots of branches were littered throughout our neighborhood, though.

We weren’t to be deterred.  The kids crawled through the branches and we put the wagon over the tree.  It was probably weakened from the storms last fall. *sigh*  There were a few more trees that were down, too.

At least I got a few cute shots of the kids. 🙂
