Morning everyone!
We had the mother of all storms ripped through here late yesterday afternoon. A lightning strike caused a power outage to top it all off- and it was freezing!!!
The winds were terrifying, smashing open my back door.! There were things flying everywhere! Then the hailstorm hit hard!!
Im still cleaning up the mess left today.
My first thoughts were all the animals yesterday. It was really difficult to walk around checking that everyone was ok. Some came home today and others i am hoping will come home soon. My poor horses weathered the storm without injuries. Thank God i had just bought them some warm winter rugs!!
The hail was so thick on the ground it looked like snow. It also stripped the leaves from the trees!! Its another very cold day today. Still only 9 degrees with a cold wind. I have to say ive never seen a storm like that hit with such force. Im walking around here still today asking myself " what the bloody hell just happened!!!"
