BIG storm

We woke up in the middle of the night by a huge thunderstorm passing over us. It was some very violent winds, rain and lightning.

I could hear things getting tossed about in the backyard, scary! I was on pins and needles, just waiting for a tornado to be spawned from this storm and rip through the house (it does happen quite frequently in Florida during summer storms). Luckily it passed, and our house is still here...

I saw on the news this morning that we were lucky; there were quite a few houses that sustained severe damage. Huge trees had been uprooted all over the place, and as of this morning 5,000 households were still without power.

These kind of sudden freak storms can sometimes be very scary, almost more so than a hurricane in a way, since you have no forewarning.

At least with a hurricane you get a heads up a few days ahead and can take action.

In other news, the toilet is still in the box (so shiny and NEW!), the husband got home very late, and it turns out we need grout to seal the rim after installation...

But it is here! Tonight we need to do yard work, the grass is TALL again, but it will be installed before this weekend, no and, ifs, or buts about it.

Now back to work. Have a great day!
