Ruth, did the big storm hit you?

I've just been watching the news, and hear about a huge storm hitting the Phoenix area, and can't help but wonder if our dear Ruth is doing OK.

Prayers going up for you  .

I'm fine, Sue and Wolf - Thanks!!  Yes, we had a pretty severe thunderstorm last night - a lot of damage from snapped trees, fallen power lines, etc.  Most of it was in downtown Phoenix and Tempe, which are about 15 miles from me.  We had a lot of rain and lightning at my house, and the power went off about 12:30, but I slept thru most of it.  That's the way all the rain we get in summer comes in - afternoon and evening storms, probably the same for you, Sue.  I think the whole intermountain west is like that.  But considering we only get about 2" of rain in the summer, and this year we've gotten 5", I'm not complaining.

I think the place that needs prayer now, Sue, is the gulf coast.  Looks like Gustav has taken a bead on Louisiana, with landfall on Monday morning as possibly a Category 3 hurricane.  Of all the places they don't need it......

Glad you are safe Ruth.

We are expecting a real thunder storm here on Sunday. If nothing else, it may clear the air.

Glad the worst of the storm passed you by.

And that is a lovely avatar Ruth.

Looks like Lyn and I are going for the beach look.
