We had high winds during the night, but by midmorning things had settled down.
At noon, Brent and I met friends, Mike and Jeff, at Ed’s for lunch. It is probably our last time to eat there. They are closing on Wednesday. From then on, they will focus on catering. That part of their business had grown by leaps and bounds. It didn’t make sense to keep the restaurant open because it was only marginally successful.
We went to Sam’s Club before returning home. After school, Sara came out to the MH for a visit. She told us about the wedding she went to on Saturday. I hope she will bring pictures. It sounded like a very interesting wedding.
Around dinner time the weather took a turn for the worse. By about 7:00, Brent and Bill decided we should go into the house. It had started raining and only got harder. By then, we were under a tornado alert. After watching the local weather channel for awhile, Brent said it was time for us to take cover. He and Willie went into his closet and Bill and I took refuge in the utility room. Bill went back to the front of the house to monitor the sky from the front windows. After about 30 minutes things had calmed down.
Brent said Willie was not a good one to be with. I guess he had a hard time getting him to settle down. While I was in the utility room, the electricity went out. The power company sent a text message saying the power should be back on by 9:00.
Bill and I returned home and used the inverter to keep track of the weather. At 9:00, Brent and Willie came to the motorhome. The power company didn’t know when they would have everything fixed. Willie was still a bit agitated, but finally settled down for a nap. At 10:00, they went back into the house for an early bedtime. By then, the only lightening was far away.
