We had some wicked weather roll through these parts on Wednesday and Thursday. Severe thunderstorms and high winds. Wednesday night I laid awake watching the constant flashing and thunder for nearly 3 hours! Normally I find thunderstorms in the middle of the night soothing but this one was strange and long lasting. It was extremely humid out that day and night, so the atmosphere was very unstable!
Thursday night another thunderstorm rolled in but this time this alert came on my phone!
My sister-in-law Debbie who watches the weather radar like a hawk sent me a message to take cover there is a tornado heading our way! Plus the warning sirens started going off!
We have an inside closet in our house that I cleared out for shelter. It's not as good as a basement but at least it's away from windows. However, if a tornado were to hit our house directly we would probably be goners!
Thankfully a tornado did not come close to us, but Shauna lives in Canton and one went through the park about 3 miles from her house. They were all in the basement and the boys were scared but thankfully it turned out ok.
They did have a lot of flooding, though!
This is the street on the side of their house, the driveway and the sidewalk!
I heard later that there was 6 tornados that touched down in the Metro Detroit area! That's normally about what we get for the whole state for the whole year!
We did lose our power though, for about 48 hours. Thankfully the weather had cooled a little so it wasn't too hot. It's sickening the amount of food I had to throw away though!
Anyway, I did manage to get to one estate sale!
This house. It wasn't for sale but Zillow valued it at $598,000!
The best part of this house was the kitchen!
The oak might have been outdated, but there was so much cabinet space! There was 6 big deep drawers and 2 semi big deep drawers, not to mention two pantry sized cabinets, two cabinets with glass doors and misc other cabinets and drawers! It was fantastic! I loved it!
This pretty silver garnet ring with 3 heart shaped stones and a couple little teeny tiny diamond chips on each side!
