Yesterday's storm ..storms

Yesterday's storm was something else!! Winds at 70 mph.. thunder, lightening, rain so heavy you couldn't see across the street! Trees bending... limbs falling ( our huge maple at the back end of our yard lost a bigish limb)

The KC Star says over 200,000 customers lost electricity. Poles were snapped here in Blue Springs. We are lucky in that our power lines are underground.... so not even a flicker!

Usually such a huge amount of rain leaves us with a swimming pool near the maple... but after the heavy run off the water all soaked into the ground. Probably due to the ground being really dry... we are in a drought.

Chain saws were running early this morning...

Our grand daughter Lili was driving to work during the worst of this... she was really nervous.. traffic was crawling... a truck lost its bed cover... traffic lights out... we were all glad when she arrived at work.
