Marked "Safe" from Bizarre Weather

I shouldn't have joked so much about the wind last night, because it got serious later. And bizarre. So we actually reached our high temperature of the day – yes 59 degrees on December 15 – at 10 p.m. The same time this was going on...

A tornado warning was issued but as you can see where I circled on the map, we're just off the line of the path. because storms always follow lines exactly, right? 

We still were awake a lot during the night just in case. And the wind howled constantly. I've heard people say a tornado sounds like a freight train coming, so I had to question when the wind got loud if it was just a loud howl or train howl. Thankfully, just crazy strong winds here.

And thankfully we didn't loser power or trees or anything. Bizarre again because neighbors across the street, next to us, and just down the street all had trees go down. It was quite a mess around the region and general path of that storm – including two confirmed tornadoes further northwest of here near Neillsville and a Stanley and a ton of damage even close by with power out for some 5,000 in Wisconsin Rapids today and Port Edwards calling off school since they had downed power lines, too. 

Uff da.

I had to run down to Nekoosa school after work and these trees were across the street from each other near the school....

Isn't that nuts?

Then God blesses us with a beautiful sunset on my way home tonight to make up for it all.

Works for me but certainly not all those dealing with damage. My prayers go out to you. Stay safe!
