A huge storm...

Our fun October got interupted by a huge storm! Last Tuesday we had one of the biggest storms I have seen in my years here. It was a nice day, Critter was taking a nap, and Pumpkin was playing in her room. Then the storm hit! It was crazy! Hail, garbage cans flying down the street, trees falling down....it was nuts!
We normally don't see much hail here...especially kind that stays for more than a few minutes. This stuff stayed on the ground until the rain came again...
The piles were quite large...for here anyway!

Can you see the lake that covers the rocks in the front yard? Plus the rain flying off the roof? It was nuts!

This was an addition to our back yard for a few days...our neighbors tree! Luckily we tore down the playset that used to be in this corner otherwise the tree would have taken it down. The wall is now fixed, but it was strange.

I am used to Monsoon seasons here, but this was such a different storm. We needed the rain, but not that much in a short period of time! Luckily we were home and there was no major damage to our home or our friends homes!
