Bad Storms Here

Well here it is Saturday morning and I should be planning some great stuff for Sherri and I to do but OH NO I have to work today so there will be no plans for us.

We got up this morning and fixed our coffee...or I should say Sherri got up and fixed the coffee...I was a little slow in doing that today. I rolled out of bed and she had the coffee going and was working on her expense report at he dinning room table. Every month she has to turn it in to get reimbursed for her expenses while on the road. She really dreads this part...having to get all the tickets and mileage and motel receipts together and list all of them...not a fun task but one she has to do.

After coffee time and while Sherri was putting the finishing touches on her report I decided to head outside and vacuum out the bay and the truck. The sky looked like it really wanted to rain so I thought it might be a good time to clean some things up. I hate to put all this off until Sunday cause I would not have anytime to relax before I had to head back to work Monday morning.

Sherri completed her stuff and I finished cleaning up so we decided to take our walk...sky still looking like storms. We lucked out and got the entire walk in and then returned home to get cleaned up so we could go to the store to pick up some things for next week.

Netters http://macandnette.blogspot.com/ had shown Sherri some canisters she had bought while they were in Kerrville last March. Sherri just fell in love with them so she has been on the hunt for them ever since that time. Well while we were out she located some and she bought them for the RV.It is great when she finds what she wants and then the hunt comes to an end....just in time for another hunt to begin...LOL

I left for work about 2:30 and had not been there long when Sherri called me to let me know that a giant storm came through with winds well over 100 mph! She said the RV jumped around a little but all was well there...however just up the road from us was a building that collapsed. It was the training facility at Valley Ranch. It might be 2 miles from where we are parked as the crows fly and the wind did a number on the roof there.

You can see from the pictures that it came down right on the playing field. All reports are not in as of this post...but I am sure by the time you read this you will have all the information.

I did not know that this roof was a canvas type roof but it sure looks like it. It appears to have been stretched over ribs that spanned the field. Oh well what ever it was it came down when the gust of wind hit it. Several folks were hurt...I don't think anyone was killed.

These areal views show the amount of roof that collapsed...sure looks like all of it to me.

I am so thankful that Sherri was not hurt where she was. She said it really hit out of no where with no build up just boom it hit and the RV just jumped and so did she. We still have storms all around us and we are keeping an eye out for any dangerous cells coming our way. I just hate this time of year...here in North Texas....Wish we were some where else....
