Storms!

Just as I hit publish on the last post yesterday a storm came out of no where. It was a storm like I have never seen before. I was sitting at the computer and the power went out, then the wind started blowing so hard that I could not even see out the front windows of the store. It looked like a white out of snow only it was rain. Lightening everywhere it was terrible. I kept looking out the window in pure amazement. All of a sudden it looked like the lightening came down right in front of the window, the front door flew open with water coming in everywhere and I went running into the shop screaming my head off. I didn't realize there was a customer standing there that could not make it to her car. She was an older lady and she immediately started rubbing my back saying it is ok hunny. One of the guys ran up shut and locked the front door. By this point the showroom was wet and everything went flying! We had hail the size of quarters. The storm lasted about 45 minutes. I was also worried about the kids because they were all not home. I started calling their cells in a paranoid voice (pretty much screaming) at them what are you doing. I called Nick's phone almost in tears I seriously thought our building was gonna blow away. He kept telling me hunny its just a storm I said no I have never seen anything like this. I told him it is like a hurricane or something. He was telling me where he was it was just raining. Finally it started to calm down but all our bay doors were open so I had to stay until someone could come with a huge ladder to put them down so I could go home. As I was driving home there was traffic everywhere because all the lights were out. I came down my street and it was flooded. As I pulled in the driveway and hit the garage button I was just hoping it was gonna open and it did. We didn't lose our power but man my patio furniture was everywhere and the basement flooded from the sump pump. I turned the news on so I could see what was going on and they were in my subdivision. Apparently our area was the hardest hit with yes I was right hurricane strength winds! It was just awful! Huge trees were just cracked in half and transformers hit.

I was already upset that Farrah died yesterday and then when the news came on that Michael Jackson died I was in complete shock. I mean he was so much a part of my days growing up. I had a huge poster of him on my wall because ya know I was gonna marry him one day LOL. I agree that as he got older he was a little out there but OMG he was a fantastic performer. I love his music. They have been playing tributes to him on the radio all day today and I have been loving it. I also watched that 20/20 special about Farrah last night and it broke my heart.

I am going to the fireworks tonight with the family and some friends which will be fun. I am missing my hubby today because it is our anniversary so I would love to be with him but we both have to work to pay for that air conditioner LOL. Four years ago today when I married him I knew I was marrying my soul mate. I didn't think it was possible for me to love him anymore today that I did then but it is. I adore him. He has what I don't and that is rationalization. I am a spaz for the mostpart. I have what he doesn't that is my crazyness. It has rubbed off on him and he has learned to roll with it. I love that we balance each other. Happy anniversary to the man I adore!
