On Saturday night we had some CRAZY storms come through the sioux falls area - in fact they stretched all the way up to Brookings and down to Iowa. Chris loves thunderstorms, so he was out on our covered deck during most of it. He even had Brooks out with him. The little guy liked the rain and didn't seem bothered by the thousands of lightning flashes across the sky. Then the wind picked up to like ... oh, 70 mph. It was NUTS!!
This was our garage door after the storm. We live in an apartment and the way the wind was whipping around the building it happened to catch our door just right. Super. Good thing was that it didn't really damage the car like I feared. Just a tiny scratch in the back spoiler. The guy came out yesterday and fixed the panels, but the opener is still broke. Hopefully that should be repaired by the end of the week.
This was a worst of it. Lightning struck our neighbor's house (actually two neighbors since it was a twin home) and it caught on fire. We watched the whole thing! My heart was (and still is) so sad for those families. But I'm so thankful for our volunteer fire department in Tea. They did a great job responding and making sure everyone was safe. They were putting out that fire for hours - it was so bad. It was a little too close for comfort for me, but I'm glad everyone was safe.
