Stormy Weather

Last week we had a few nasty storms pass through the area. On Thursday, we were under a tornado warning - the first time I ever took shelter in the basement since we've lived here. The skies were green, the clouds were swirling, and the wind was blowing 70 mph. It was enough to scare me, but it passed quickly and did no damage to our property. I was impressed at how far it blew our garbage can (empty, thank goodness!) I had to take a picture. The green can blew from the end of our driveway. The gray can in the distance, next to the tree, blew from the end of the Sauke's driveway on the opposite side of our house. And those are big garbage cans! That's some wind!
