And The Thunder Rolled

Well the past five days have been very interesting for my town.  We had Down Burst which is bigger than a Micro Burst and smaller than a Tornado.  the area where I live did not have power for five days and it was a long five days.  I don't think that the temps ever dropped below 96 and the high were at least 103 and that wasn't the "Real Feel" either, so add a few more degrees.  I Think the power outage was worse for my two dogs.  one night we went and sat in my car with the air on just to cool them off.

The storm only lasted about 10 minutes but those 10 minutes seemed like forever.

All of these pictures are from my street.  Luckily no ones house was damaged all the trees just missed the houses by a few feet.

 The Picture to the right is a tree that fell on the power line that runs through my back yard.  That tree sat there for 4 days before the crew came to get it off.  We were so happy to see that tree crew cause we knew that meant the power trucks would be getting closer to getting the power back on.  It ended up taking an entire day until it was fixed but it was still fixed.

This picture is mild compared to the rest of the streets.  There were down trees and wires everywhere so even if I wanted to go for a run it  would have been hard to find a route that wasn't dangerous.

There is still a part of town that doesn't have power and won't be getting it back until maybe Monday.
