I'm slipping

[growalot]

Oh boy! Out for my walk and usually I'm pretty good about watching the sky...storm wasn't due until 3pm...I heard some light thunder and Angel disappeared...No biggy..I came out of the woods and started across the food plot headed home when KABOOM!!!! I literally felt it in my chest and was face first in the plot..turned my head and this is what it looked like...I giant grey battle ship rolling over the tree tops  coming over me...Then I heard Angel at the house howling like she was in a foot trap...So I can still run! But didn't make it before one of her nails found our 30.00 replacement screen...I won't be washing the gouge marks off that metal storm door either. First time she has ever scratched the basement door to get to the basement...shes afraid of the basement...not today..No rain with this one. Geez...they come across that valley so dang fast!

We had a good one last night . Rupert usually keeps going from one nap spot to another whining during a storm but he sacked right out last night.

A quick moving storm is how I Tore my meniscus  few years ago...caught me down the hill working. Running up the hill through the woods a bolt ripped parallel to the ground above me up on the ridge..I didn't know that could happen! I turned and heard the pop/ rip...didn't really feel it until I hit the house. Must be something about the thermals in these lake valleys. We can see them miles away next thing you know they are on top of you.

All but the freezers and frig..listen storms are different on top of hills..we've had answering machines actualy blow up..we loose many trees to strikes and many have scars from ground to top from strikes. We have surge protectors. You won't find me near any water in the house during a storm either. Not All are bad but you can certainly tell when one will be..we've had several this year.

PS... years ago while visiting my gramps he lived in a trailer in Dansvliie...he had his TV on and Dansville you needed cable to watch...there was a storm mind you in the village,so the valley..4 ft from where I sat the front of his tv blew out.. came in through the cable tv.
