The winds really picked up around 10:00 last night and shortly thereafter, the lights go out. Sarah grabbed the Weather Radio (battery operated, you do have one, don't ya) and we hear the alarm...
Tornado Watch...
and then, less than 10 minutes later...
Tornado WARNING, radar indicated wind rotation 10 miles north east of Alamo - the southern Laurens, northern Wheeler counties area. Moving toward the ESE at 55 mph, and away from us, the winds die down as quickly as they arose.
We head to bed knowing that when the power returns, Metro will run through the house looking for the unseen force that made the various clocks beep. We are unaware that the damage to the power lines are so close. Truck from Little Omulgee EMC stop in the road at the corner of the farm. The pole on the lane, is down. At 1:03 the electricy is restored and finishing touches are applied to the new pole...
Glad we got a good nap yesterday afternoon!
