The electricity was still out this morning as I was getting ready for work, so I had to shower by candlelight. Something about a nightlight lit by candles struck me as funny.
I know I should be feeling thankful (and I am!), because no one here was killed or even seriously hurt, but looking at all the destroyed trees around town makes me a little weepy. So many trees, and apparently all from straight-line wind. I think we had a final total of five tornado warnings, before it was all done, but the only confirmed tornado, that I know of, was south of here, near Bedford. Like I said, we were lucky, even though it’s still kind of painful to look at.
Walmart was closed today, to give you some idea of the extent of the damage. Walmart! Closed! Have you ever heard of such a thing?!
