Power outtage and Storm

Last night around 5:30 pm we had a lightning storm like no other I have seen here in 13 years except when we built our house, had just put $600 worth of grass seed down, and watched it wash down our driveway and cry.

It came down so hard early evening and the winds really picked up, and little tornados. Hubby and I sat in the garage with doors open watching. I got soaked cause I knew it was coming and I was staking my gladiola garden. But it was refreshing after the heat we had. Lost power, lightning caused our car alarms to go off, etc. It was pretty wild. Almost like a tropical storm.
Power finally came back on sometime this morning, fortunately we have a built in generator and hooked up fans, able to watch some TV. :biggrin:

High speed cable out AGAIN. :bang:

Haven't participated as much lately....work too much, grandkids, life.....but love it and hope to get back to it soon.
We've done some really funn projects though..if you like that kinda stuff. Deer counts at midnight, planting wetlands at an audubon golf course (this project was my baby), I've done lots of educational programs for schools, girl scouts, campfire, etc.
Florida has a master naturalist program too for those who might be interested.;-)

Very cool- thanks DD...
