Let me explain...
It was a super hot day yesterday -- like 97 or so.
We ate dinner (sloppy joes), then all of the sudden we turn on the news after dinner - and the news people were all saying -- take cover, a tornado warning is in effect.
And then the power went out just like that!
And the storm arrived!
Nasty winds, Lightning and Thunder galore!
Mommy knew where flashlights were, so she searched in the dark and got them -- however -- you know the batteries don't work when you need it -- in both of the flashlights she found. GRRR!
So, Mommy knew she bought a brand new pack of batteries.... and of course the one time you need to open a pack of new batteries in a jiffy -- the packaging is made of some sort of super tectonic, ultra sticky, permanent, gorilla glue -- that by the time Mommy got the package open -- batteries went spilling out all over the kitchen table.
Mommy managed to find four of the batteries on the table in the dark, and managed to put the batteries into the flashlight the correct way! Kudos to Mommy!
So, with one flashlight working -- we were now prepared.
Us dogs were so scared of the storm.
But Benji is a trooper, and eventhough he was scared, he managed to smile for the picture that Mommy took of him hiding in the bathroom in the dark. (We lightened this picture so you can see Benji.)
At sunset, as the storm was finishing, the sky turned an orange color. This picture doesn't do it justice. It was a pretty site at the end of a nasty storm. Mommy said, when you were in the house, all of the windows glowed an orange color. So, that's why Mommy tried to take a picture of the sky. I guess she should have taken a picture of the window glowing instead. oh well.
Glad that storm is over!
Lassie and Benji
P.S. The weather people are trying to figure out if a tornado hit the Deptford, NJ area. That city is north of us. Scary.
