Encouter with the storms!


Last night in my neck of the woods, farmers, where scurrying around doing there best to finish up plowing and planting. As the clouds over head started to tumble as my brother and I watched, I saw 3 tractors speed by down the road heading back home to take cover. While taking pictures I sort of felt like a storm chaser not gunna lie, but when I saw the deer along the fence row start to run I knew I better head inside. About the time we started to walk back a huge gust of wind blew me over! My brother and I hi-tailed it inside our house and watched the storm move faster. With the windows all open in the house I smelt the rain start pounding our house.

This morning as I walked outside to do chores I notice 3  tractors sitting at the edge of the field. Dear everyone, please take cover when it storms! Tornadoes cause an average of 70 fatalities and 1,500 injuries in the U.S. each year. Lightning occurs in all thunderstorms; each year lightning strikes the United States 25 million times. Is the #1 cause of deaths associated with thunderstorms...more than 140 fatalities each year. Causes more than $1 billion in damage to property and crops each year.
