Oklahoma Weather

You never know what the weather is going to be like here in Oklahoma, especially in the spring. It has been raining for more than a week and I've tried to put this on the blog but due to the weather we have not had any service until to day when the sun finally came out! Oklahoma is known for its stormy weather during this time of year and last Wednesday April the 29th the weather made a statement at our house. The day started out muggy and cloudy and by 8 am we were in a thunderstorm watch. As the morning progressed it started to rain heavily with lightning and thunder and strong winds and then the thunderstorm watch was changed to a tornado watch.

Papa was keeping a close eye on the weather, standing at the picture window in the den and suddenly the trees started whipping around and the rain started to swirl and he heard a sound like a jet engine! He headed to the closet under the stairs just as the electricity went out. You guessed it ….a small tornado… not big enough to rate…no damage to the house or animals but we lost trees, the swings in the back yard and the goat house are a total lost and several flower pots and plastic chairs were smashed in the back pasture.

Love this Oklahoma weather!

The forcase for the rest of the week is more rain but hopefully no storms!
