After the big storm blew through, we had this lovely & colorful sunset. Facing due north here. :)

Yes, the wind is blowing that hard! :)

Yep it's really raining now! :-p

Right before the storm breaks

I'm a bit surprised that they're still trying to play when it's rumbling loudly and the skies are getting ready to open up. :)

the view out my front door as another storm prepares to roll in on top of the kids playing baseball :)

RIBBIT! RIBBIT! He's a loud fella! :p

A froggie with a BIG ribbit for his size!

Looking to the east & still water isn't going down that fast up the creek. This was at 12:45 in the afternoon!

Another view of the rushing water. Flood waters shoved gas tank under back tire of truck, it came up so fast.

Close up view of the rushing water - it's LOUD! (I'll upload the vids next)

See how fast the water's moving here? Too swift to walk across!

The concrete bridge to get to other side of nursery. See gas tank wedged under back tire of the truck?

Shot 2 of the creek - you can see that it's only a few feet below the edge, can't you?

Shot 1 of the creek about 1/3 of the way up to bridge to other side of property

Lovecraft modeling my GR DVDs for me & then, letting me put other stuff on him :)
