Bad Weather

We had a bad storm come through yesterday. It came really quickly. Grandmama was trying to take a nap and mama had to wake her up.

Grandmama doesn't like us to wake her from her nap. But mama said a tornado was coming. We didn't have the tv on and were listening to cds, so there was no news. Plus there was no thunder and no rain.

Grandmama got smart with mama and asked her why she thought there was a tornado. And mama said maybe because she just saw a tree fly by the window.
So we opened the door and there was a big tree blocking the driveway (see the picture on the left). Then it started to rain. Mama said we couldn't move the branch. Grandmama said we could. Mama said we couldn't. That daddy had to do it. So we waited up all night for daddy to come home so we could watch him move the big tree branch.

Here are a few pictures of what the storm did to the trees in our yard. Oh, and Ysa said for me to tell you, the storm lasted for less than 10 minutes. And daddy said for me to tell you that we were lucky, the whole neighborhood looks like a funnel tried to form but stopped short.
