Where in the world am I?

These last few weeks, I've been wondering where in the world I am! I mean, the weather has been INCREDIBLE for July. We've had middle 80's, I've even turned off the AC! Can't be Global Warming . . . maybe Global Cool Down. Now, I am not complaining!

But last night, I finally, remembered where I was at. It was one or so in the morning, the winds were starting to pick up. I thought I had better get up and check out the NWS radar.

I went to the Sunroom, where the computer is and as I opened the back door of the house, the outside door to the sunroom blew open . . . rain everywhere . . . lightning, thunder . . . good grief. I got the door shut, sat down at the computer, and lost power. GREAT! Tornado could be 2 miles away and we were not going to know until we heard it!

Well . . . the Udall area was hit pretty good with some "straight-line" winds. Fortunately, we just have some roof damage and other stuff.

I am sad about this . . .



. . . my apple tree . . . split at the trunk . . .




. . . and this . . .



. . . my corn laid over on it's side . . .


. . . and then I wonder about this . . . a round bale feeder by the propane tank? . . .




. . . rolled on it's side all the way from up there . . . the barn!








And then you have the little tragedies that you have to just let happen . . .

. . . I've moved them back to an area where I see several rabbits. Hopefully, their mama will find them. I know nothing about rabbits and their habbits but they always seem thankful when I get them back into the brush so they can hide.




. . . and then a good storm wouldn't be complete without scared four year olds!





Sheer exhaustion caused this crazy scene in my living room.


I'm sleep deprived but I have a clear memory of where I am at . . .


KANSAS!
