We had a huge storm that came through Southern Illinois on Friday, May 8th. They are calling it an "Inland Hurricane" because winds were whipping across the land at 100 - 108 mph. We went through 3 real hurricanes while living in Florida and this was exactly like all of them. We were all in the bathtub for about 45 minutes while this "thing" came through our area. Landon was upset because Daddy made him sit in the bathtub that morning for a storm and then again that afternoon. How mean of Daddy! :) Here are a few pictures of the destruction to our street:
Jason's truck got splattered with green leaves
Our street
Neighbor across the street lost 4 pine trees (1 on his truck)
We lost power on Friday at 1:00 p.m. and got it back Tuesday night at 11:00 p.m. It was a long few days without power. We all went to bed around 8:30 each night and enjoyed the extra sleep! It is a day that we will remember for a long time as Landon calls it "the bad day!"
