February Storms

I've had several email and ask if we were hit by the storms. No, they were about 80 miles to the east of us, but our oldest lives real close to where one did come through. They were without power for about 3 hours, but no major damage. Thank goodness.

If you like storm chasing ...and there are many of us around here who stand on the porch to watch them, one of the local television stations has some good videos and pictures of the damage that occured all over the state.

We did receive close to an inch of rain last night...I slept through it, and the needed moisture was welcome.

It's springtime on the priarie....it's gonna storm...and I'm glad I have a basement.

Glad you are okay. They skirted around us too. Like you, we appreciated the moisture.
Now if only I had your basement when it storms.

We're working on moving over that way. Daughter Laurel wants to know if she can come live in your basement every spring! She's a fraidy cat.

Your new grand babies are adorable. We've been lurking and watching their progress.

It is scary when the news says the big storms are coming your way! I am glad you avoided the worst and I have been just loving seeing the new little people in your life!
