<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
It's looking like a HOT week coming up, so all that mud should be
drying up soon, but this weekend was a different story in that
category. The Relay for Life on Friday evening once again had to be
called on account of bad weather coming in, and boy, did they get it
right. My daughter and I wound up driving through one of the worst
rain and lightning storms I've ever had the misfortune to be in. We
had to take a crew back to Talihina, and on the way back it looked like
the sky had just opened up on us! We had to pull over and wait it out
since we literally could see nothing but water at some points.
Lightning would flash and I'd be looking for tornadoes. Of course I
didn't tell her that's what I was doing. Who needs to be in a car in
the middle of the worst storm you've ever been in with a panicking
teenage girl? I know they warn you not to be in your vehicle in this
kind of weather, but looking out the window at the rain pouring down,
lightning flashing all around and trees blowing like weeds, I sure
didn't see anywhere <u>else</u> I wanted to be! We finally made it
home all in one piece, but I noticed the next day that there was a HUGE
tree uprooted in someone's front yard on Golf Course Road. I couldn't
tell if it damaged the house or not, but if it didn't it's a miracle!
Then Saturday night was about the same story, except I was NOT out in
it then. I don't mind storms so much if I'm safe at home with
flashlights and candles at the ready. <br>
