Our Summer Began with a Bang (and then some flashes of light)

Our summer break started off with LOTS of storms... we left our local pool early on opening day because threatening clouds were on the horizon. We no sooner came home and the skies looked like this!!!

We all love storms in our house... even Mocha! While the tornado warning sirens blared, we waited outside until the last possible second before hitting the basement.

The squall line was spectacular.


The problems arose - literally - later on, as our normally dry river conservancy...

...turned our yard into lakefront property. Abutting a river has always made us nervous, but we were fortunate to keep our basement dry.
