Just after 7 last night we got a shower. Then a cloudburst, and then what the local Emergency Management folks called a micro tornado. Roofs lost, metal and insulation spread all over. Our only damage was half of a large tree in the backyard broke and fell into the side yard. We surveyed the damage and since the power was off due to several fallen trees, we drove into Grove for a cold drink. Halfway in we were hit with rain so hard that we had to pull off the road and stop. Cold Dr Pepper in hand, we returned to the house, only to find the other half of the tree laying across the roof. This post is possible only because PSO restored the power a few minutes ago. This is the second time this year that they have responded after damage and worked their magic. Atta boy PSO! Not sure I want to see the roof in the daylight. I think it is going to be a looong Sunday.
