We just had a what.....?

As some of you may of heard, downtown Atlanta was hit by a tornado, Friday night. It was weird to see the damage that was done to the buildings down there. Saturday, they had also predicted some heavy thunderstorms, and boy did we get them..... Wind, pouring rain, thunder and lightening, hail, the works. Our power went out, because it was so windy, and the thunder was so loud it shook the house. Since our power was out we couldn't hear the news to see what was going on. And we didn't hear the "tornado siren". Mike's sister called to let us know that one was heading our way, but since our power was out, we didn't get the call. Like idiots we stood at the window and watched the storm come through. A couple of hours after the storm hit I was talking to a friend on my cell phone and she informed me that a Tornado hit down the street from our house. We had NO IDEA! Today at church, everyone was talking about how they went down in the basement when the siren went off.......Didn't hear it! Our power was out all day, so we didn't know anything that was going on. Thank goodness it didn't hit any closer than it did. There is a farm house down the road, who's drive up to the house is lined with really pretty, big pear trees that have beautiful white blossoms on them. We drove by this morning and most of them are down, from the storm. Here are some pictures of took of our yard, cause it looked like a river was running through it. Hopefully the storm put some kind of dent in our drought out here.

The Hail...........

If you look back by the trees you can see part of a "creek" that had turned into a raging river. The "river" that ran down the side of the house
