Rude Awakening

 We were awaken early Friday morning of June 19th to an alert for a Tornado Warning! Not how you want to be awakened!

There was not a visual but the storm indicated rotation so an alert was issued. It was coming from the Northwest and was tracking to go right through downtown Mineral Wells where highways 180 and 281 intersect.

I started praying as I was getting dressed. I asked Doyle if I should try to contact Mom. Then it occurred to me she charges her phone in the living room and wouldn't hear it anyway. It would require me going over to her house. He said lets just watch for a bit. The storm starting weaking as it approached Mineral Wells and the alert was canceled 16 minutes later.

We had a few limbs down but nothing more serious. This was the worst one and the only limb that was not dead. It came from the tree on the other side of the carport.

These limbs were dead.

This limb doesn't look very big in this photo. Our neighbor offered to cut it up for us.

Have a good one!
