I stared a supercell/wind sheer thunderstorm in the eye on Friday evening at 8:30 pm and I blinked. We were standing on the screened in porch, and I had to run in the house. I was just too scared. The wind took down 3 live trees. Why those and not the 9 dead ones that we still need to work on, I don't know! The radio kept saying supercell thunderstorm, rotating activity, take cover. We lost power about 7:30 pm when it wasn't raining or windy so I knew it was bad - knocking out power as the storm came our way. The next morning as we surveyed the damage we saw a softball-sized hole and another hole still with the branch in it - in the garage roof. No damage inside the garage. Insurance adjuster coming this week and the contractor shortly after.
There is levity in all situations. When the storm was approaching, I heard one of the visiting teenagers next door yell, "Auntie Em! Auntie Em!"
