This is what the driveway looked like last night when the severe thunderstorm came through between 5 and 6 o'clock.

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 - So, I mowed the lawn for three and half hours yesterday...nervously watching the sky toward the west as the afternoon began. There were a few clouds but nothing particularly ominous looking.

While I was talking to Ron just before 5:00, the thunder started rumbling and the dark clouds began moving in -- it was very exciting! I was standing at the door in the garage that goes out to the deck and I could tell that the wind speed had increased from 0 to 50 mph. The trees were moving around like they were possessed.

It was pretty vicious for a while but thankfully, it was a fast moving storm. By the time Bob got home -- a little after 6 -- it was over except for a few sprinkles here and there.

Glad I got the lawn mowed!!! yeah! see ya later, djb
