Last night, I was sitting down, and I looked at the window. The blinds were shut, but through the slats I could see that the sky was yellow, and the trees were sideways. That scared the you know what out of me. Living in Kansas, my heart always sinks when I see this. I wasn't expecting it, either. The whole day was just hot, no clouds, nothing exciting. Then it got windy. So we went out to put the animals in in case it was going to storm. Soon after that, we were getting 80 mph winds (literally, not kidding at all.), rotating clouds, a wall cloud, trees were breaking, and branches were falling. I felt like I was in the beginning of Wizard of Oz... Goodness it was scary!
So, then we were RACING to get the animals in. No one got fed besides the birds, sounds harsh, but it is better then getting killed by a branch! At this point I was running around hysterically, trying to get the HUMANS in... It was like gathering a flock of chickens! No way in my mind were they ever going to stay outside in that.
So we all got in the house, and it was 7:00. Getting darker and darker. It doesn't usually get dark until about 9:00 now so this was unusual. You could her the wind blowing and it finally started raining a bit. Even in the house, you could hear trees snapping into two and branches hitting the ground. Then I would here lighting and make the TV sound go up so I couldn't really hear it... it was pretty darn SCARY, and I am obviously not a big fan of storms.
After the whole ordeal, thank the lord, we and our animals were all safe. I went out afterwards and fed everyone. Everything was calm and no one was screaming in my ear. Not even ALICE... now that is a statement!
So, here is what we were left with.
