Nasty storms lately & yucky weather forecasted again…

We’ve had a few nasty storms roll through our area this spring already & more rain/potential storms are again forecasted this week. I find it a good reminder of how blessed we’ve been by the Lord and how amazing He is! He has truly protected us and kept us safe throughout everything.

So far we’ve been blessed to only loose a few big branches from a couple of our trees, including our cherry tree.

On the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend we had a particularly nasty down pour of rain and wind that broke another large branch off  one of our trees but toppled the swing set at my sister’s house. We happened to be home sick that day/night and so my mom had come and picked Alexa up and taken her to church with her. The down pour of rain hit our area just as they were on their way home - thankfully they made it to our house safely but had to sit in the van in our driveway for quite a while before it let up enough to get them in the house!

Pictures of the storm rolling in - the one above was taken less than a minute before the one below - yet you can see how far past the water tower it had already moved! So amazing to see the majesty of our Creator!

(at one point it was like a wall of water was driving at the windows - pictured above)

There swing set toppled over - with the slide quite a ways a way from it! The monkey bars were sticking through the fort part of the structure!
