What a Storm!

WOW!  What a storm we had roll through north Texas today!

When I turned the news on this morning, the meteorologist told me that there was a big storm up in Oklahoma that “may” cross the Red River and affect towns close to the Texas/Oklahoma border, such as Sherman, Texas.   That was a big maybe and a big mistake!

Not only did the storm come down into Texas, it came all the way down into Dallas and surrounding suburbs.  Around 11 a.m. today, the winds picked up, some gusting up to 65 mph., and the thunder and lightening started.  It began raining super hard and then, almost as soon as the storm hit, we lost power.  Our power was off for over 2 hours.

We had orthodontist and other appointments today, so we did have to go out in this weather.  Fortunately, the worst of it passed before we had to leave the house.  With the loss of power, I even had to figure out how to open the garage door manually.  We got out and got everything done.  Softball practice is canceled tonight due to more storms heading our way.   Hopefully, these upcoming storms won’t be as powerful as the ones that rolled through here earlier today.

  1. We get those storms too and we’re just leaving town tomorrow. I’m nervous that our power will go out and the house will smell like a landfill when we get back.

  2. I think our power was out for at least two hours. It’s taking the house a while to cool down since the power came back on.
    Have fun on your trip! :-D
