What a Storm!!

This morning the wind picked up

It only seemed like seconds before the sky darkened...

to black.

I dashed inside with Lucky Dog just in time.
High winds, hail and rain lashed and after...

Trees down in most streets in town

The primary school...

and the beautiful old tree in the main street
that I photographed back here in January this year
...is gone!

There is a concrete picnic table and chairs
under there somewhere!

We didn't see any major damage to buildings though
unlike other areas around the state.
See here

But how lucky can you be...
this was close

and this!

Sure was wet!
