The Storm of 6/24

First off, I was at the doctors when this happened. When we got outside, my mom and me, and we saw a very dark sky. I thought to myself, 'OK another thunderstorm on the way' but this was not a normal thunderstorm. This one was very, very, scary.

We got in the car and started driving home. My mom replies that we were going to be getting some wind, and all of the sudden, a piece of something, that looked like a rocked, hit the windshield, passenger side. I was so scared, I almost had a heart attack, no kidding. The rain started getting heavier as the sky started getting grayer. Happily, we got home safe, only to see a big branch on a tree next to our deck, started cracking and decided to fall to the ground, still holding on to the tree. Our deck was OK, but what we also saw was across the street at our neighbor's backyard, two huge trees, came down and landed on the backyard, and destroyed a fence. Happily to say, no one was hurt. But it was like a huge storm, or possibly a tiny tornado, touched down and destroyed everything in its path. We were without power for the rest of the day, and just got it back on about six hours ago. I'm very happy that we, not only got our power back on, but also survived this. At least I didn't have to work. I doubt I would have anyway. Mostly all of West Chester lost power for almost a whole day. Some people go their power back on that night, but not us, or any of our neighbors. So I decided to read some stories by candlelight and fell asleep, hoping that when I woke up, the power would be back on.

But I've been watching the news on line to see what the damage was everywhere else. I don't know if anyone lost their lives, but many people lost their homes, their cars, their electricity and their tress. This is the type of weather we would see in August, not June, not even for July. Let's hope and pray that we never have to deal with another horrible storm like that. Till then, Ciao Bloggers.
