@cdneh hope you all made it through alright.

 

It was pretty bad here but nothing like some parts of the state. Some places around me have no power that seems to be the worse around us. Not sure where the one poor person who didn't make it is from. :(

Rogers AR, a man was killed when a tree fell on his house :(

I was up late anyway,  the weather radio kept going off with tornado warnings and it seemed silly to go to bed.  It was almost 0100 when it began , and massive gusts of wind and rain started pelting the house. The lightening was  pretty intense, and after recent events I find it makes me a bit worried. Himself and his dog went to sleep.

Sometime after 0230 I got a notice on the phone app the storms were ending. Of course, we all slept well in this morning. No power outage, and only a few bitsy branches down in the yard.  We didn't have to go out in it to the shelter. Lucky here.

I see Dallas got the worst of it. It looks terrible there, but nobody killed. That in itself is amazing, given the number of people living in the areas  where it struck.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Glad you didn't have to go out in it. I don't know how anyone could with the type of rain and wind we had. I heard the first thunder at 12:00, phone and alerts went off at 1:00 went to the shelter and all clear was sounded at 1:20. That was a very fast moving storm. No damage, only the garden fence blown over, but it wasn't braced very well.

 

I haven't seen the photos of Dallas yet. I need to check with my cousin and see about her lake house. It's just outside Rogers, AR.

 

Glad everyone here on VJ is safe.

My older kid's friend keep cheating in school by looking at my kid's answers during the test. 

I told my daughter that he's only cheating himself, because when it comes time for him to take out that knowledge, it won't be there. 

 

Now...do I tell his mother?

You talk to the teacher. She can change the seating of the boy so he's not near her. 

 

Just got the pool down, folded in 3 sections now letting the bottom dry up some more. 

 

Now I need to figure out supper. Darn kids and the Hillbilly think they need to eat everyday!
