A Storm came rolling through!

Got woke up this morning at 4 am by a storm, I thought for sure was going to blow my house down and others too.   At 4 am our dog went wild, kept barking and barking until we got up. By then the lighting was so close and sharp you didn't need any lights to see to get around it lighted up the whole house. Thank God we didn't need lights by then all lights in the area were out. Then the hail came wow it sound like we were in middle of jar with marbles hitting the lid.  Very loud. The thunder was loud too. The winds were strong.  Got the little Wolf Daughters up and away from the windows nothing we could do as we have no basement. Just sit in the hall way and pray that nothing happens.  After the storm rolled through around 5 am we all went back to bed till 9 am and up to see all the damage outside. Lights came back on around 9 am. Thank God nothing bad really happen to us. In the neighbor hood alot of trees down and fences. Leaves all over, our little tree got it. Looks like a bunch of mice or worms got at it. Thank God no one was hurt.  Items can be replace, might not be the same but they can be replace.  People can't and Thank God no one was hurt.   So, we count our blessing and move on to another day.
