The Rain Came Down!

We had some severe weather last night - We heard on the news that Toronto had tornadoes earlier in the evening. Around ten, we were getting heavy rain as it passed over us. The lightning wasn't a bolt, instead the sky lit up to a pink color and the thunder that followed, rumbled on for over a minute. Smoky must have been afraid, he jumped on the bed and curled up next to us.

Around three in the morning, our motion light came on in the backyard. I got up and looked out - for a second, I didn't see anything. Then I saw two figures came out from the shadows, moving slowly toward the house. There were two medium size raccoons with another trailing slowly behind. How neat! They must have been heading for Smoky's outside water bowl.

After the storm - today is very humid - and we have a severe weather warning for the rest of the afternoon.
