More storms ...

Hi everypuppy! It's me - Ammy! We had more very severe storms (with a small 's') come through yesterday evening and night. A lot of people on our side of town lost power last night ... and in fixing their power this morning, we lost ours for a few hours. The bad news was that it meant we couldn't get our post up in a timely manner; the good news is that Mom couldn't run the vacuum like she had planned. Hee hee hee.

OK! On to the storm pix! Here's a look off the deck, facing west.

The north looked even worse, so Mom went out front and shot this picture for me:

That doesn't really capture how nasty it looked. She shot a cool video, but we can't get it uploaded to anything right now. I'll try later!

An hour or so later, things got really stormy (again, small 's'). This was the view out back:

Mom shot a short vid out there, too....... but it won't load.

We just got a call, and a certain member of royalty is about 15 miles from our house! Oooh, I can't wait to see her!

Love,
Ammy

PS: Here's a vid of the small 's' storm coming in - this is the view out front. Zim helped Mom film it.


And here's the one from out on the back deck!

Those aren't happy looking clouds! Mom told us to go outside and start blowing towards the West. They have a horse show tonight and "strong gusty wind and hail" might come. We can't wait to see pics of your visitors!

Ammy, the quilt behind you? Did your momma make that? Or Dave maybe? It is lovely!!!! Those storms are amazing! We've not seen the like here in awhile--you can blow them down to Texas if you like.

Can't wait to hear more about Brice and Eva's visit!!! LOVE THE SMOOCH!

Scary looking storms (with a little s of course). Glad we are not having those. The Herd has been able to stay outside and practice their SZK School of Siberian Studies Cooperating for Photos Class Homework just to drive the bi-peds nuts trying to blog!

Those vids look like that storm is just hanging out right on top of your house! Your mom takes the best storm pics, but we always worry about her when she decides to take pics & videos instead of heading for the basement! Stay safe!!
