It's electric!!!

So last week we had some big storms pass through and ended up losing our electricity for an astounding 22 hours! I think that was the longest it's been out in the area in quite a few years. Let me just say that being in a basement suite on well water during a blackout is not something I'd do again in a hurry. Needless to say as soon as Jeff got off work we rushed over to my parents' house which was also out of power but at least had warm running water and a flushable toilet.
Well now a couple days ago the wind started to pick up and the sky was full of black clouds. I just couldn't resist taking sime photos.
you can actually see the storm changing and the rain coming in the distance. It happened within a matter of minutes.
and then in the time it took me to upload the first few pics to my computer the rain was pelting against my window. But you can see that the sky had lightened and that was pretty much the worst of it. I just so thankful the power stayed on this time.
