The storm was incredible to watch. Not only did we have winds of more than 60 mph and pelting rain, but we had near-constant lightning for at least 40 minutes.
The next day, we found this as we drove down one of the back roads.
It's a tree branch. Lying on the power lines. Suspended above a road. So cool!
(The desert rat in me is still amazed the east coast tree branches are as big as southern Nevada's trees.)
We slept in the basement the second night. The temperatures were up to a muggy 100 degrees, which made for very hot nights. Nadine enjoyed wearing my headlamp, so of course I got pictures, which are on the Nani blog. Nadine was a very good trouper through the entire outage, even though she didn't want to sleep in the basement (mmmm, I'm grateful for basements).

That is crazy! And I too think the suspended tree is kind of awesome... :)
Does Whitney want to come back? The first time Ashley visited us out here we had a bad storm and lost power for 3 days. She's a little gun shy when she comes back now. :)
Hah. I'm pretty sure I cause the power outages, so I'm just excited the Jensens still let me come.
It was quite the adventure -- I feel like everyone stepped up to the proverbial plate
Holy tree branch! That is crazy!
That is impressive. It took my brain a second to understand that why the trunk was pointing up. Yep, desert rat.
