How do I know? Just because of how it started off.

Today was our last day at school, took exams, went home, made a stop at my mom's friend's shop. He's a jeweler and I have a job as his apprentice this summer!

So that was good news, got home and my dad went out, mom was still at work. I was watching TV when...

SMACK BOOM!

GIANT storm hit.........GIANT!!!!!!!

It didn't last long but boy did it hit. Lighting wasn't super fierce in OUR yard, but I could hear that thunder. Branches and leaves were dropping faster than flies. At one point the rain and wind were so hard you really couldn't see a THING outside. Not one thing. Then one giant branch falls in the yard, and I'm sitting there laughing.

Everyone's okay from what I can hear so far.

But that's not the end of it.

The whole back of the chicken pen is wiped out, gone. Tons of branches fell all over them. One branched knocked out the wire holding up some of our bean plants too.

When we were in the front trying to find anything else in our yard the neighbors across the street had a HUGE tree down. Didn't hit much except some of their garden, but it was HUGE!

Then we hear that up the street one of our neighbors house was taken out by a tree, fell clean through, like a knife through butter. The people right between them and the ones across the street our good. Top of a tree fell of theirs, but that's it. The people behind them had a tree on their house too.

Tons of trees are down around here.

Also one about to fall right over the road, held up by a vine (that's it). @_____@

And if THIS wasn't enough, nooooooooooooooooooooo

So along with all the epic damage and branches down we find a giant black snake in our barn (which my dad now got out) but we found a Luna moth drying it's wings in there.



I am at lack of words of how epic this day is...

I have some pics too, here they are:
