Storms the word

It seems like our area has been hit super hard over the last several weeks with rain, thunder, lightening, wind, tornado watches and warnings, which resulted in a few tornadoes around here. The winds have taken down limbs, power lines,trees which have closed streets....you name it. We have also had some flash flooding I am sure.
Around our home we have been lucky enough to only have a few down limbs and leaves which have caused me to have to clean the yard both Monday and yesterday so that I could mow. I don't ever remember a season quite like this one. We have had our friends staying with us over the last 2 storms because each storm has left them without power and water. The first storm hit Friday, the second one Wednesday evening. It was amazing standing at the window and watching how the sky line changed and how the storm blew in. The trees were waving with some definite madness. Its been crazy.
Yesterday I spent some time with a friend driving around and looking at all the damage we had around town. So here are a few pictures of what our area has looked like over the last couple of days. Downed trees on power lines.

Many, many uprooted trees causing some major damage. This is just one of the many.



Part of a barn that ended up in someone else's yard during one of 4 tornado touchdowns in our county.

Here is what remains of the barn and all the debris around it after the tornado struck.

And finally here is a tree that came to rest on what looked like it was a fairly new vehicle.

As this weekend comes, we are heading out of town for a family reunion and they are calling for more storms. Guess we will see what comes.
