WE HAD A TORNADO !



And sure enough the folks on the news said it sounded just like a freight train!


Rain, rain and more rain has been the story for June this year. So after our daily afternoon monsoon yesterday, we, including all the tv weather folk, let our guards down - when low and behold around 9:30 or so things just went crazy. We were on the very periphery of all the bad parts, only getting a few gusts of wind and some more rain. The most lighting I have ever seen - the sky just stayed the hazy blue - for what seemed like 5 or 6 minutes. 

We lost power for the first time in I dont know how long, not prepared at all  - only out about an hour - and we had cell phones, but it was a bit scary - we did know there were tornado warnings out for our area. Only the second one in the 15 years I have lived here, in all of upstate NY.
