It was hot and sunny all day. The farm down the road sent a tractor up to one of our pastures to pick up the hay they cut yesterday. Our cows were in it (we moved the horses), so they needed someone to open and close the gate when the dump trucks came to get the loads. This whole process took about 45 mins. The tractor picking it up and putting it in it's wagon, then every so often emptying it's wagon load into a dumptruck. About 10 mins into this, all of a sudden, the sky gets black, the wind starts whipping, the heavens release torrents of rain, then hail and then thunder and lightening are resounding all around! Needless to say, I touched the gate only when I really had to and I got really really wet. LOL And wouldn't you know it, a few minutes after they got done and I couldn't get any wetter, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. LOL! We lost power for the rest of the day! It got really fun at night. We had candles on and walked around with flash lights and 2 of us had on lights that strap to your head. My dh got home late-after 9pm and brought us home Chinese food for dinner. He & Jonah got the generator going until the power came back on around 10:00. |
