WE ARE OKAY!

Okay the other evening (Tuesday) we had a funnel cloud touch down in the backyard about 5:30 pm. It was a bit scary. The trees were blowing like I've never seen before as I was watching out the windows. Our kids trampoline lifted vertically and hovered for a couple minutes at least five feet in the air as I watched and then realized I shouldn't be watching so I immediately yelled for the kids and they came fast (so I must have sounded scared). As I was yelling the neighbor boys came over hysterically crying saying they were shocked by lighting (which doesn't surprise me as it hit their house and knocked out their cable and their receiver to the television and sound system) with their dog and we all hunkered down under the stairwell. Our trampoline took a beating and landed upside down in the neighbors yard and was hit by lighting (it was a wild night). I asked the boys if it's ever done this before since they have lived here ten years and it hadn't to their knowledge. I had to call Mark and thank him for this move as he was in Texas at the time! He was surprised and enjoyed the kids discription of the event as it went from five feet up to ten feet in the air. It's amazing how fast these weather systems come in and go out. From Carolina blue skies to Black dark clouds, hail and rain downpours within minutes then back to Carolina blue skies.
