I go back to work tomorrow. Maybe that is for the best? If not, maybe I need to become a dog blogger. Or maybe even a weather blogger? The news hasn’t been interested in my photos (I may have sent a lot), hence I am sharing them with you.
It’s been a rough couple of days around here. We’ve had some pretty intense summer storms. The 75 mile an hour wind gusts and baseball-sized hail took out power for over 475,000 people. There have been boil alerts, water shortages, emergency shelters opened and National Guard troops deployed. The Governor declared a State of Emergency and power might not be restored until next weekend in some areas.
I am very lucky I did not lose power. I would not have been able to breath without air in the heat. Thankfully, my doctor allowed me to go off oxygen last Wednesday so I am not as dependent on electricity as I might have been.
This was the scene outside my house on Friday night:
It came out of nowhere.
Tonight was like a rerun, but we had a little more warning:
The dogs do not like thunderstorms.
 |
| “Did somebody say thunderstorm?! Can I go outside?” |
 |
| “This wind is great, Mama!” |
The dog dog does not like thunderstorms.
 |
| “Oh. No. Is THAT a thunderstorm I hear?!” |
 |
| “Maybe Daddy can save me.” |
What about you? Did you get severe weather where you live? Are you without power?
Until the next mile marker,

So glad you have power. We’re on a generator so we have a fridge, some lights and the internet when we choose to turn the generator on. No AC, but our house had stayed below 80. Others are not so lucky. Hope you have a great first day at work. Still keeping you in my thoughts.
we haven’t had any severe weather here…besides crazy wild fires and heat. eeeek.
