    Yikes - and here I was just complaining that Mother Nature dumped summer on us, without the benefit of spring first.

    Glad that you're okay. I hate storms like that. Someone would be scraping me off the ceiling even if we didn't lose power.

    Wow, that must have been so scary. It's sure hard to keep the critters calm when their (leader) is shaking
    in their boots. That was me a few years ago when we had a bad storm like you just had. Glad to hear
    that Grandma wasn't ruffled at all. Bless her heart. Your insurance should cover the damage right?

    When we had all the hail damage, the insurance paid for a new roof, gutters and siding for the house & garage.

    I'm so glad you and the furbabies are safe MOFF. You will continue to remain in my prayers
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Oh my God! So glad the power didn't go out.

    Prayers and good wishes for you and kitties, MoFF, that the worst is over for you with these storms.

    Thank goodness you & the babies are safe!
    Those kinds of storms scare me senseless. I used to lock my kitties and myself in the closet during the nasty storms when I lived in Houston.

    I hope your windows are repaired/replaced soon!

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
    Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.

    Well, looks like I didn't get by as well as I thought. The insurance inspector says we need a new roof and furnace vent and they will paint 3 sides of my house for me. That should be interesting. My house is yellow and I don't remember what the shade was, plus it has aged. So one side is apt to be a different shade. Luckily, that will be one side that is close to another house so it won't matter as much.

    Our entire town took a pretty big hit. The fort lost some original windows from the 1800s. Several churches lost stained glass windows, Walmart lost part of its glass over head dome, the nursing home where my Dad used to be lost lots of windows in the patients rooms. I'm so glad he wan't there for that. Every house in town that has vinyl siding looks like swiss cheese now. Almost every house in town had some damage.

    Thankfully, I have two guys coming in a bit to board up my broken windows. It is going to be a while before they can be replaced from the looks of things. We have more storms coming later tonight and tomorrow. I was afraid the inside windows would get damaged if more hail hit them. I don't want my cats hurt or getting out for that matter.

    Bet my cats will be mad since they are gonna lose their two favorite 'look out' windows for a while. It can't be helped though.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Wow, that's quite a storm you had! Glad you and the kitties are safe and dear Grandma slept through it all. And it's good that it's getting lighter, now that yo have to have your windows boarded up. Stay safe!

    Moff, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm glad that you're all fine and that you'll be able to have your home repaired soon. Hopefully the other storms won't do any more damage. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.
