Oh What A Day!
















Our first wedding anniversary in Kansas will be more than memorable. As we were putting a new pump in the well we could see a storm brewing to the west! Kept on working until Daniel said it's coming and he was right! 80-100mph winds took us by surprise! Daniel rode out the storm in the hay barn that he had just fixed weekends before and I made it to the house. It was needless to say the worst storm either of us had witnessed in our 30 years! Lots of trees down, gutters off the roof, windows broken out, heavy metal rolls moved hundreds of yards etc.! I took some pictures of the damage, but it hardly does it justice. We were lucky though because some people had significantly more damage. The storm took down 2 miles of power lines and the transformers! The tomatoes took a huge hit, but I restaked as many as I can so we'll just have to wait and see how they do. The picture of the sky is looking out to the east after the storm passed.

  1. Oh no...glad you were able to salvage the tomatoes. Daniel told matt about the storm and both of us had visions of Daniel as the guy in Twister, hanging on to the water pipe. Glad you guys made it through ok. So, you going to put in shelter?
