First Post of the Day
Cole and Emily really were lucky Sunday night. Their home is the blue circle.
We had been FaceTiming with Cole earlier that evening and he said he was being cautious because bad storms were approaching and so he was keeping an eye on them.
Good thing because he had enough warning to get his family into their safe spot.
The Spring Hill tornado was on the ground for twenty minutes, touching down at Mount Pleasant and ending at Spring Hill. Rated an EF 1, it lifted just before it would have plowed into Cole's neighborhood. Grateful, grateful, grateful.
That weather system continued into Monday. Here in Indiana, we had high wind warnings and blowing snow with whiteout conditions.
Soon our patio, walks and driveway, and street were icy and slick.
Numerous accidents were reported all over town - we had only expected a coating of snow and had not prepared for what we got.
A view from Leslie's car as she and Rick drove in the blowing snow.
The winds kept howling late into last night.
I was sitting on the sofa with Pepper snoozing next to me and recorded the wind on my phone. (Got some of her snores, too! LOL)
This morning it is COLD.
And icy and slick.
Ethan just posted a weather report for Kalamazoo this coming weekend. Looks much better than now.
Fingers crossed that this storm is winter's last hurrah.
Stay 'tooned!
Thanksk for the details. The combination of snoring dog and howling wind is something else!
