Wild Sunday Storms!

Sunday here in KS was a beautiful day!! We had endured horrendous winds for a couple of weeks and finally they dissipated, it was a much needed breath of fresh air (not the wind of course, but them leaving)!! We were so enjoying our day and were just gearing up for some much needed yard work when this crazy storm popped up and blew through our county.

First spotting of the storm rolling in..





Storm meeting our previously blue sky!



As the storm progressed the sky got darker and darker!







This picture I added a touch of sepia to, the rest are mostly SOOC!



This was just AMAZING to watch transform!

Incoming storm that ruined our game :(

Stormy...Oh So Stormy Night...

Everybody thinks of Kansas as tornado alley?!?! I mean really why is that? Is it because the Wizard of Oz has us convinced it to be true?!?! Or is it just the truth LOL!! I mean seriously we do get a lot of tornado threats and usually when they touch down they are bad!! So tonight in this stormy Kansas weather I hopped outside to get some pictures as it was moving into the eastern part of our county!! Only being allowed by my son "if it is safe" LOL!!

It was a different look from every view!!

This was some kind of a freaky Friday!!!

My day today started out as normal as normal can be around here, we had some errands to run and J had a baseball game this evening. So before Hubby and I left the house I was of course getting ready and decided today would be a great day to wear my new Ariat pro Baby's that Hubby got me for Mother's Day. They were a couple of days late but well worth the wait as they are my favorite boot!! So I pull them out of the box take them to get my socks and get ready to put them on but when I set them down on the floor something looked funny...So I switched them around thinking I just wasn't paying attention ( I can't really afford to pay attention you know!!) So I look down again and stare at them for a minute trying to figure out what in the world was wrong with what I was looking at?!?! ....Oh now I see it.....They have sent me 2 LEFT boots!!! OMGosh, I have a 7 1/2 and an 8 both left boot!!! OHH I was so annoyed, but all is well now as they are on their way back to NRS and then they will hopefully ship me a proper pair!!!

So we go on about our day and get to J's game and all is going great until.....The storms hit!!! And when I say hit I mean from the time we left the ball diamond till we pulled into our driveway which was probably about 10 minutes the weather had gone from rain to hail and rotating clouds!!! Ahh I hate this weather!!! So we pull up to the house and I holler at the kids to hit the basement NOW!!!! And as I go running into the house I see it.... Nope not a tornado (thank God)....a package....my package....I have been waiting all week for this package which consisted of 3 photo albums of DD's dance competition that I had created, uploaded, and ordered...Where do I see it you ask??? Floating!!!! Floating in a puddle of water ;( I grab the package race into the house ripping it open hoping I can save them....Nope all 3 are wet, OH I was mad!!! You know I get stuff delivered on a weekly basis from UPS and I NEVER have a problem but everytime it is Fedex I DO have a problem. And as sad as I am to say this I can name 3 shipments that have been Fedex the first one a Father's day gift for Hubby that was "delivered" oh and I signed for it...NOT....Well I finally found it 3 days later hiding in some bushes!! Then I had a shipment come in 2 weeks ago and they delayed the shipping for 4 days because "the roads made it undeliverable" except that the roads were fine!!! And now this, so needless to say I filed a complaint but I doubt it gets better...

But the best thing of my day was that God blessed us with safety from the storms..I am not kidding when I say it was about 30-45 minutes of "funnel clouds forming here, and here, and here. All being directly around us..Whew we were scared!! But we are safe and thanking God for that tonight...

I hope everyone has a blessed and peaceful weekend!!!
