Some crazy weather today

Pictures don't show it well, how gray the sky was this morning. It was a lot darker than these photos look.

We had one thunderboomer that quite shook the house on its pier and beam foundation, but the house stayed firm.

It rained most of the day today. But then the sun came out and we had all the usual puddles. It was hard to get photos because the sun was shining into the camera.

Listening to the ten o'clock news (2200 for you military or government types), we were blessed once again. Places all around us got hit with really high winds. Roofs were torn off, big trees uprooted. Thousands of people without power. One church in a nearby community was lifted off its foundation. But we were safe, though the lights flickered and DirecTV lost its signal as it often does in the rain. I even managed a load of wash and dry. I will fold it tomorrow sometime.

I am hoping for good things this year. Praying for God to lead Mr. Trump and our mostly new congress to actually accomplish something that will truly help America this year. Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he can feed himself always.
Or something like that.
I wish you all a safe, healthy, happy and blessed New Year. God bless.

Update: The weather service determined that Louisiana had 8 tornadoes yesterday. I am thankful to God for keeping us safe.

God bless you all.
