Big line of storms blew through last night. I knew they were coming. Everybody else was in bed but about midnight I went out to sit on the porch and watch the light show coming from the southwest. About 10 minutes later the tornado sirens started going off so, I came inside and checked the radar. The winds were about 45 miles an hour so it really didn't hurt anything. Some lightning, at least one strike was pretty close. Really heavy rain, but the whole thing blew through in probably an hour.
The sirens of course, woke everybody up, but not for long. I finally went to bed about 3:30, (normal for me) but then about 4:30 I was awakened when the electricity went out. One of the clocks makes a beeping noise when that happens. It was hours after the storm had passed. A lot of people lost electricity during the storms but we never did. I've got to go to town to take one of the kids to the dentist this morning so I'll see if there was any damage in town. Now I have to go all through the house resetting all the electric clocks. John
