STORMS WRECKING HAVOC

Storms moved through our area yesterday evening...setting off a frenzy at our house.

Mason and I were at the ballpark getting ready for Mason's game. It was dark and ugly to the north of us but looked just fine to the west. Lightning was in the distance but seemed just 'heat lighting'. I hoped it would pass by...but. They decided to cancel the game so we hopped in the car and were on the way home when daughter Julie called to say 'get home' cause it's coming.

Meanwhile, granddaughter Anna was on her way into the storm, unknowingly, as she was on her way to horse riding lessons. Shawn (son-in-law) got hold of the babysitter who was driving Anna there and told her to turn around and come home. It was a few nervous moments as the storm arrived...lightning struck all around us...and rain came down in buckets. But she did get home.

The kids headed to the basement...the storm ran its course...and we all survived.

I see an article in the paper that says, in Ohio, a structure didn't survive. A character sung about on Bob & Tom...Big Butter Jesus...was struck by lightning and burned. I'm sure it will be rebuilt.

Here's the article...and here's a song about it...by Heywood Banks...a frequent guest on B&T.
