Last night I wasn’t sure if we were going to have a house left or not. I know, that sounds a bit dramatic but this was a doozy of a storm that rolled through, and my stomach which usually does not react to things of this nature, told me to be wary of it.
The storm came in northwest of our farm, and although it took it’s time getting to us, once it was here it settled right over our place for way longer than I was comfortable with. It didn’t help that the weather band was squawking continually over and over to seek shelter due to 60-70 mile an hour winds, possible tornados, and golf ball size hail that was possibly headed our direction.
I stood out in the lawn for a good portion of the storm taking pictures while it was north of us, all the while watching for ‘tails’ to appear, hoping and praying this ominous black wall that stretched mile after mile somehow went around us and didn’t hurt anyone else in it’s path.
The sky was an amazing sight, and neither Hubs or myself could sit inside and just wait it out since our grove hid most of what was happening. 
The skies lit up, then darkened, and then all at once turned fiery orange. The air also turned too many times to count from sultry & hot to ice cold and arid, and then in a bat of an eye, back again.
We only ended up with probably 10 water drops that fell out of the sky, but the wind, lighning and thunder was astounding. I’ve seen a lot of storms over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed so much lightning in one storm.
