Suzy and Joel and Owen and Evie

If the Little Gym hadn’t called to cancel Owen’s karate class due to a tornado warning, then perhaps we wouldn’t have known about the warning, but did that stop me from going out for a quick trip to A&P to get strawberries and whipping cream for the schaum tortes? No!

I thought I had time, but the storm hit as I was driving through town. All of a sudden the wind slammed everything and the rain came down sideways buffeting the car. In the time it took me to drive less than a quarter mile, I already had turn around due to downed wires and I saw a huge tree fallen partly on a pickup truck and an apartment building. I did make it to the grocery store, but the trip home took a long time due to all the folks trying to find a route around the downed trees and wires.The bottom picture is around the corner from Ben and Jerry’s, which is nearby. The bottom photo is just down the street from us in the other direction. Amazingly, we didn’t lose power. What a mess!
