The sky turned dark with heavy clouds.
The rain fell like a waterfall.
Finally it started to let up a bit.
We ventured out to check out the aftermath. (Some had to be forced out the door. That would be hubby and Chaquita! LOL!)
This what I found, a lake in my yard!
As we were taking a potty break and taking pics, hubby decided to move the trucks. We were only out there about five minutes and out of now where, lightning stuck in the field and thunder sounded at the same instant. Have ya ever seen a fat woman run without touching the ground???? I'm sure hubby did, he was still moving the trucks! I'm positive them feet never flew so fast!! I even left the umbrella out there to fend for itself! The camera was just lucky it was attached to my wrist!
After another good thirty minutes of chaos, I ventured out again. The water covered 90% of the yard.
The sun was starting to go down and the glow was spectacular, but for some reason I couldn't capture its awesomeness in the pics. They really don't do it justice.
No we didn't float away, but it surely was scary at times.
The water has no receaded in parts but the water that does remain, smells horrible!
Hubby's favorite saying:
How high's the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin'
