Ahhh!!!!!!!!!

We had a major storm yesterday that totally swept through our area. I was stuck at work for literally 4 hours with absolutely NO power, and yet my boss wouldn't let any of us leave since it was supposed to come back on at Any. Minute. Not that any of us asked if we could leave; we knew better, but still -

Four hours!!!!!

I never twiddled my thumbs in the dark so much in my life. :(((

Of course, not only did the storm totally ruin my morning, it completely annihilated some of my lily's AND bent my corn completely over.  We tamped the corn back up as best we could, but some of the lily's were completely done for. One of them that I just got from my Grandma was completely snapped in half.

I didn't take a picture of it. Too painful.

But here's my corn mid-fixing, and some of the lily's that partially survived. I'll have better photos of everything else later. Everything in cages and/or trellised survived just fine as did my onions and pumpkin vines. So thankful! My little green tomatoes were all like "yo, what's up? Still here, still hanging. Good times, good times." :D

At the bottom you can see how far the corn got tipped, this was the initial tipping "back" more towards upright.

Don't mind the weeds. I hate weeding. LOL Weeds have feelings, too!




*pant pant* Wow, what a wild ride. I think I'll just rest here a spell.

Oh man. Poor plants! D:

We were supposed to get that storm here, too, but I think it just swiped us. It was mostly south of us by the time it made it over here. Which, I suppose I'm thankful for, because wow. That totally sucks. :(

Glad YOU'RE okay, though! :D

It got really dark and scary around 9am from the storm. My building hosts a ton of summer camps during the summer, and because of the no power thing, it got pretty tense. I think the coolest part of the morning, though, was the gymnastics camp sitting in circles all over the lobby telling each other stories. It was pretty cute. So were the soaking wet footballers forced inside. *sigh* Good times. :)

So sorry your flora did not make it :o(

We had a windstorm here about a month or so ago, and many trees lost limbs.

Hope the corn recovers!

We got hammered with that storm, too, although not as badly as you did.
