Tornado Touchdown! Hup! Hup!
Overturned trees...
...ripped out of the ground by their roots...
Would you look at that tree? The Leaning Pine of Pisa.
So, apparently we had a tornado here Saturday evening, and I slept right through it.
It was a low-grade tornado and it actually touched down in a few areas, all around my neighbourhood. That figures. No one was hurt, which is what's important, of course.
But I still think what's more important to report is that I actually slept through it.
Let's think about that for a moment, shall we?
A tornado, ripping roofs off houses, and 70-year-old trees out by their roots. Me, asleep.
Gives you an idea of what kind of day I'd had. Although, I guess it helps that I can't hear out of my left ear. A relatively recent health issue. More on that another day, when I really have nothing else to talk about.
It was really strange, actually, to see these uprooted trees, because right beside them were tiny saplings, fully erect and happily growing. Not touched in the least.
Tornadoes are strange, powerful things.

I am such a light sleeper, there would have been NO way I could have slept through that, no matterhow tired I might have been
I'm glad that you and everyone in the area were safe.
We had a tornado hit our house last week. Took the roof, the garage, turned the pool inside-out, took oaks and pines and left a scraggly MIMOSA tree that we cut down EVERY YEAR to try to keep it from coming back! Destroyed over 600 houses in my area and the only person hurt was my next door neighbor....he broke his arm!
I'm glad no one was hurt there either! Scary.
Have a wonderful Wednesday~

Glad to hear everyone made it through relatively unscathed. And that your beauty sleep wasn't interrupted. ;)
That's some kinda tired my dear!!
Glad no one was hurt. But I'm sad for the trees. Really.
Glad you're all fine.
Those were some big trees it took down!
I need a nap!
Glad everyone was okay!

When no one else is twittering, I often find my self saying, "Imborid" ;-)
I'm glad you all are okay.
I've recently started taking medicine which has the aide effect of making me sleep that soundly. The only caveat is that I can't stay awake past bedtime.
