We have a nice, calm waterway that runs through our back yard and it's usually beautiful. Today, we've had so much rain, that our waterway has begun to rage!The wife took a video of the raging waters before we arrived home and I tried to post it, but for some reason it wouldn't take.I'll try again later, but for now, under all of that raging water, is our stone pathway and deck. At least our paddle boat is holding on tight! We hope it won't sink :)
As of right now, the wife is watching the emergency weather report and cheering it on as one would a football game. She's very excited about the wall cloud that's turning into a tornado on the television screen "right before our eyes!"
30 minutes later:
The excitement soon changed as we watched the wall cloud form into a perfect tornado that touched down less than 10 miles from our home. There was a quick gathering of the animals, putting away the dinner I was cooking, and getting the temporary shelter prepared in the restroom. The sirens soon started blaring, but luckily the tornado lifted and moved past us just in the nick of time!
Ahhhh, the trama of it all... now I'm worn out!

That is, believe it or not, one of the things I miss about Dallas! Houston just does not get those kind of storms (hurricanes don't count, they're just assholes!).
Glad everyone is safe and no damage done!
I love a good rain storm...well, maybe minus the tornado!
Wow! Well, I'm glad y'all made it through ok! We just had super crazy rain and wind!
