Waves Upon Waves

The last few hours have been interesting when interesting is used to mean crazy and surreal. Waves upon wave of thunderstorms, some spawning tornadoes, cut across our state. This video from Springfield shows a twister traveling up the Connecticut River. We lucked out with high winds, accompanied by booming thunder, lightening, and understandably nervous children.

Funny thing, we are having two massive pine trees taken down tomorrow. After the last high wind storm about six weeks ago, when they lost some rather large branches, which thankfully missed the house, cars and people.

The tree man dropped off some equipment and commented that the top of one tree is dead and hollow. It will be interesting to see how much of the trees, if any came down in the storms.

The Governor declared a state of emergency. We will see where our efforts can be put to good use in the morning.
