We had a really bad storm last night. We lost power at about 8pm. Momma and Daddy were stumbling through the house to find candles and the flashlight. I just laid on the couch until they could compose themselves. Finally, they got me some light so I could sleep like a civilized pup!
I hope Puddles didn't have to endure this silliness...and I hope she didn't have to drink warm beer 'cuz her fridge went out!!! TRAGEDY!
We have yet to see the delightful "southerner" describe the incident as sounding "just like a freight train" and explaining how she "told Earl it was gonna be the end of the WUUURLD!" All the Heartbeats are born and raised southerners so we can say that without offense! We just say a prayer that one of our relatives doesn't pop up on the screen!

**Momma Heartbeat here. Yes Calhoun and the other furkids were rather
unaware brave last night. We definitely had a storm. We aren't prone to tornadoes but I think we must have had a little one. The pictures above show the streets in our neighborhood. It was quite scary. It was so dark though we just knew it was raining and very windy. Then the transformer blew and we heard sirens. Somehow we went to bed about 9pm. And the power came back on about 11pm which scared us to death! Hopefully, we will have some daylight when I get home to take a look and make sure we didn't get any damage. Our gigantic old trees make me nervous during storms. I think we'll be fine though. I don't know how all our blog friends in tornado country do it!**
glad you all made it past the storm ok

We are often under the threat of tornadoes but thankfully none have touched down in our area for years. We hope all is OK at your place and for all of your family.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't seen Puddles around for days now, we sure hope she is OK.

Mr. Nubbin'
The worst is when the lights are out and the sirens come on. I'm from Nebraska and Kansas so I got used to tornadoes at a young age, but I'm actually more scared of the storms out here in Chicago because we're higher up with more glass and we don't have a basement. I'm glad everyone's ok!
ReplyDeleteWe've gotten pretty used to those tornados here! We had an F4 blow through several years ago and ended up with no power for over a week. It's definitely a good thing to approach them with caution!
ReplyDeleteOne skeery storm! I wouldn't have liked it.
ReplyDeleteholy cow!! me and asa and mama and daddy were in the middle of that ginormous storm on tuesday night, too!! our power flickered lots 'n lots, but we managed to not lose it. we all cuddled up in the big bed and hid under the blankeys 'til morning. when we got up, everybuddy's christmas decorations were like in the street cuz they had blown away from their houses!
ReplyDeletei'm super duper glad ya'll are okie dokie!!

Hi, Guys! Glad you're ok. Hope there was no damage to your estate. We got the Biblical rains and wind, too, but we didn't have any problems at our house. Mama spent some of the most boring nights of her young life in an earthen "storm shelter" [hole in the ground] in western Oklahoma way back in the Dark Ages. Teaches respect for old Mother Nature that you never lose.
