Severe Thunderstorm!!

Okay, so we have had some crazy weather lately.  I am sure most of us have.  We had a really nice few days a couple of weeks ago and then it has rained almost every day since.  Well, today it was very stormy this morning and then cleared up into such a beautiful day that I took the girls to the beach for an hour to play.  But then this evening the Severe Weather kicked in.  It was really neat watching it actually.  We sat at our patio doors and watched all the lightening and watched the trees blow in the wind.  Some of the wind gusts were bending out big trees behind our house almost sideways.  It was pretty crazy.  Well, Ryan just went out to go to a soccer game and he called and told me to go take a picture of this:

This is a tree across the street and down a little bit, and it is definitely a good size tree.  As you can see, it is completely split.  It was laying across the road and blocking both lanes of traffic.

Here is the crew pushing it out of the road:

This was a crazy storm.  There were a couple tornadoes that touched down, but they weren't near us, so I am glad. We are safe though its still storming!

Oh sorry the pictures aren't that great.  It was still raining and the clean up crew wouldn't let me get very close.
