Omaha Storm

4:30pm on Friday. Luckily, Rod had just gotten home. Siren's were blaring.



Standing on our deck looking southwest. You could hear a low rumbling which Rod told me is the sound of hail coming and being tossed around in the clouds.



This is the view to the northwest from our deck. We were watching that area of cloud on the right coming down. Winds got to 90 miles/hour.

The storm hit our house hard. We could hardly hear each other speak. We had water coming inside through the window frames and under the doors on the back of the house. We were without electricity for 14 hours. Little did we know until later, that the storm actually skipped over us and "really" hit the area's 6 minutes away from us. There were 3 deaths that we know of. Within half an hour the sun was shining. Whew....Crazy weather everywhere!!

Wow! We saw the report on the Weather Channel and shot up an arrow prayer! Go figure, the ONE time I don't call to find out if everything is ok! You didn't need my call for God to protect you and HE DID! Praise the Lord! I hope you didn't have too much water damage! Those photos were amazing!---Take care----love you both! Paula
