whiski_sourBusy day, weather-wise.
Though I managed to cook dinner without incident, the sirens went off while we were eating dinner. Cue the scramble to shut windows, make sure all cats were accounted for, shut down computers, and try to capture a little bit of video of the storm on my crappy digital camera (I got a little vid of the hail storm earlier today).
The wind was impressive and we ended up losing another branch off of our tree. Second one in two days. Poor tree. It's suffered enough in its life (it's been hit by lightening twice and had the entire top of it blow off in a storm last year).
If there was a tornado, it went south of town, according to what was said on the police radio. "South of town" is a couple of miles away from my house.
We got a break of about an hour before the third, last, and weakest storm went through. I took some pictures of the storm clouds moving in. After the storm passed, there was still some good lightening to be seen south and east of town, so Carrie and I drove out to the vet's office and I tried to get some video of the lightening. It's like it knew I was watching. The best stuff always happened when I wasn't filming. I did catch at least one good one, though.
I know nothing about video and my digital camera isn't the best, but I'll see about possibly uploading some clips. It never would have crossed my mind to film any of the storms if![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I hope you're happy with yourself, Jenn. With any luck, you'll get to see what I deal with every summer.
