What A Night!

Are we all still here? I think so! Let's see...one puggie...another puggie...one cat and two human parents. Yep, we made it thru that storm. My oh my, in the nearly 8 years I've lived here never has there been tornado warnings issued in JANUARY!!!! JANUARY! Tornados as my husband has told me time after time are a concern in the Spring not Winter. I tell you our weather is kind of screwed up lately. It's like Mother Nature passed control over to her rebel daughter and everything is going haywire.

The major storm started rolling in with about 5 minutes or so to go in the Cowboys game. Things with the game and the weather both took a turn for the worse at about the same time. Yeah, lets not talk about the game. Brad was so furious! Yikes! Anyway, the wind whipped and howled. They broadcast tons of storm coverage and very little of anything else. I watched the eye of the storm make its way closer and closer to us on the weather radar. Our area was in the direct path. I had 3 nervous pets on my hands as well. Cody was even huddled up by the front door. They mentioned on the weather special reports that Cowboy's stadium had been closed before the storm approached. Meaning that fans, players, media, and even the entire Jerry Jones clan was stuck inside the stadium. Trust me, better to be prevented from leaving then have to leave and be stuck outside in the storm.

Lots of winds, super loud thunder, plenty of lightening and tons of rain. Thankfully, no major damage. Our building however, was struck by lightening directly above the elevator shaft. You know what that means? Yep, the elevator is not working. At least there's another elevator in our building to use. It increases the amount we walk to get to it but it's better than having to carry 2 aging puggies up to the top floor.

Whew! What a wild night! I was super thankful the worst of it was over long before we went to bed. That way we could sleep peacefully and not worry about a tornado ripping thru in the middle of the night. I just have to say one more time...JANUARY! A tornado issue in JANUARY! Crazy!
