School got out at about 1:15 on Friday - which means summer has begun. And it began with a bang! It has been raining like crazy for the last several weeks (we are a little sick of the rain, can you tell??) Then the winds picked up to where it was blowing REALLY hard. However, it wasn't until I drove out of my circle that I realized what had been going on in our subdivision.
At about 3:30 a funnel cloud formed and came through our subdivision ripping trees from the ground, tearing shingles from rooftops, ripping pergolas away from houses, crushing fences, and contorting trampolines. However, despite the trees being destroyed, there was relatively minimal damage, and luckily nobody was hurt. This is in no way a small miracle because early release is not a usual thing, and the usual thing is for kids to be dropped off of the bus at about 3:30 right where this happened.
I guess this summer looks to be anything but boring, eh???
Tessa and Sam are enjoying the new climbing apparatus. 
Surprise Way - you can see it has been twisted right off.

Yeah - that's why the flights were delayed...

That is crazy! Look at that trampoline and those trees. Wow! I'm so so glad everyone is safe.
Wow, you got some gnarly pictures, Leslie! I could not believe all those trees along Surprise Way. Wow. It was a good thing they just twisted around and didn't take flight! Yikes. I'm there with ya, sister: praying for sun and nice weather! Fingers crossed!
I am so glad nothing happened to your family or your home! Yikes!
