T...What?! Derecho?! Land Hurricane?! What the...?!<br /><br />This sounds marvelous! I've never heard of such a thing, and you just experienced one (though your years and wisdom as a weather analysis says otherwise).<br /><br />Derecho was outside your door and you just said... "suck it"... and stepped out into it. I'm super jealous... and a bit concerned what you would do during a tornado lol I'm also concerned what I would do during a tornado, having wanted to experience one in a time frame of my life I would actually remember it.<br /><br />Were the animals freaking out at all?<br /><br />Jak at <a href="http://crytonchronicles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Cryton Chronicles</a> & <a href="http://dreamsintheshadeofink.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dreams in the Shade of Ink</a>Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069266783997777691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-45959844649109479352013-06-15T13:06:23.103-04:002013-06-15T13:06:23.103-04:00I learned a new word here today!

We had one like that a week ago, we escaped with minor mess to clean up but some houses on our road sustained damage in the freak windstorm that passed through.

But, I'm not sure if I would recognize it if it came because the wind is extremely tempermental where we live anyway - I mean completely psychotic. That's probably why no one fixes their hair out here, unless they're going to church, and then you have to have a rock-solid hairspray in your beauty arsenal.

I had my blankets over my head and my fingers in my ears. We had one siren go off in the evening and then a big thunderstorm in the middle of the night. And I did NOT want to go outside just to see what it felt like...lol.
