March 20, 2012. Harper, Texas. The Storm.

It was a really big storm!!  First the e mails warned me that tornadoes were coming to Texas.  Then a call from Joyce, our neighbor friend,  to tell us to seek shelter and to watch the TV.  The Sheriff had called Robbie to tell the information:   A bad storm was coming to The Hill Country.

Ken and I decided to drive down the hill in the Mule to check on the ranch house.   We quickly returned because the sky was dark and the wind was high.  We thought about putting the Mule in the garage but when we started down the hill Ken noted that one wheel of the Escape was flat so we parked both vehicles beside the house and came in to watch TV, of course The Weather Channel.

We never did lose power but when the rains and lighting and thunder arrived, we unplugged the TV and Computer and read the rest of the night, listening to the wind and the rain and the thunder, which seemed to go on forever.  It was quite a storm but fortunately, no tornadoes.  This morning, the sky is blue and all is well.  What a difference a day makes.  Now we must deal with one flat tire.
