It began as a super clear gorgeous, albeit hot as hell day. Soon after arriving back home and walking the land with my canine buddy, the skies got black, some weird ass clouds began to form, thunder that rumbles the whole house began, massive amounts of lightning commenced, tornado warnings and severe storms began, and we retreated to the basement. Luckily, we only had to gather some flower pots and the screens around the strawberry patch when it was over. Several patches of flowers and other vegetation was flattened, but may hopefully perk back up tomorrow.
