And that' s the truth....last night we got quite a little surprise in this neck of the woods when a tornado blew through the 'hood about 7:30pm. In typical Cheshire Meadows fashion we all rushed outside after the worst was over to---what? you may ask...gossip about it of course! It's how we roll here in Great Bridge. We had to talk about whose fence was falling down (Sharon's) who lost a pear tree (Rachel) and whose nailed down canopy blew into their pool (sorry Sarah). Luckily no one was hurt including Stella's newly cocooned caterpillars who were valiantly rescued by Jay just as the eye of the storm passed over our house (hmmm)...So, all is well here. My fantastically hardy tomato plants survived the brouhaha, but we must all keep our fingers crossed still for those guys...They have survived a brush with Mother Nature, but can they survive a season with Donna Doak as their caretaker? This remains to be seen. Have a beautiful day!
OK, so I was refraining from commenting until I researched to see if a tornado ACTUALLY hit G.B. but then I did see something about a freak 130 MPH wind storm sweeping through the South! I thought tornadoes belonged to us, hurricanes belong to y'all!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you all made it through...altho the tomato plants may have wanted to just get it over quickly rather than take their chances later??? hahaha :)
the bad thing is that it is typically rare for this area to be visited by tornado, to the point where alot of people didn't realize what is was and stood outside to see it...It just missed my inlaws house, my friends house by a street and, my best friend's moms house by 4 houses. and yet it still took what almost a full day before it sunk in that a tornado was what had blown through...
