Our weather here this year has put on a stellar performance! You can't even guess fro moment to moment what you are going to get. It can be sunny one minute and then the next it is snowing like crazy!
With that in mind, that as we were sleeping Sunday morning, we had no idea that the wind was winding up to take a swing at us.
It was about 6:50 am and I heard a noise like I had never heard before. So much so I can't give it a proper description. I can only guess it might have been a little like what you might hear just as a tornado blows in. Only not quite such a devastating scale. It was so loud, I woke up so fast and was out of bed before I knew why. I went to the window to try to figure out what I had been hearing, but all I saw was stuff blowing around the yard. No big deal really, it has been doing a lot of that. Then Chet got up to see and he look beyond where I was looking (just in the back yard) and said "holy crap! The barn's gone!" I looked out farther to the back of our yard, and sure enough the Bishops cow corral roof was lying sort of on the ground, and sort of on top of an old car, a pickup bed trailer and Chet's tractor implements. It was really kinda funny at first. but after having gone out for a close up look after church, and seeing the damage and how far the wind had moved the roof, it wasn't really very funny. Actually I was glad it dropped it where it did and didn't bring it up closer to the house. Anyway I have never been a big fan of the wind, but it does seem to make me more nervous when it starts whipping things around now than ever before. Hope you like the pictures.

Holy CATS! I am so glad that it did not hit your house. That is really scary though. Do you guys need any help with the clean up/
Quite the sight to see it up close in those pics! I heard it too - like a train coming or something - so glad you are all ok.
Me too thanks! I am not sure about the clean up though, we don't even know what the Bishop is going to do. Haven't heard from him yet. I will let you know for sure if there is something that you can do. Even if it is just snacks! haha
