The Misadventures vacation continues!
Friday night at around 7:45 pm, I noticed that it was nearly completely black outside – not normal when the sun doesn’t set until 9 pm. And then the severe thunderstorm hit, with winds gusting to nearly 70 mph in some places. At 8 pm, I lost power for the next 30 hours.
More about the storm from the Star Tribune and Minnesota Public Radio.

“The storm was very, very scary!! I hid under the couch for safety.” -Mayhem
Yikes! Scary weather. Glad you’re safe. 🙂
Mayhem- I would have been under the couch too.
That’s terrible.

Mayhem, you are a wise kitty
Chris, I hope the worst is over, if not, stay safe
Dang! Those pictures are pretty freaky. I’m glad that you seemed to weather the storm OK.

Yikes! Very, very smart of you Mayhem. Where did Chris hide?

How scary! Wow, what a terrible storm especially with lightening, thunder and high velocity winds!
A couple of years ago, there was an unusual high wind night where I thought the windows were going to crack and the roof tiles would going to be ripped off. It caused a lot of damage in other neighborhoods and an power outage for many days in certain places.
Glad you and the kitties are safe. 🙂
Eeek! Big canopy, shallow roots. Same thing happened in Pasadena last time the Santa Ana winds blew too hard.

Storms are scary
poor trees and poor May. 🙁
Poor May! I’m so glad you’re all safe! By the way – did you happen to find any naughty boys hiding under the couch? They seem to have been misplaced. I keep checking under my couch, but no luck so far.
Glad you’re all ok! Hope the new condo is also ok. 30 hours without power, though…I hope you had candles or a torch.
Glad you are safe!
Yikes. What a storm. Poor trees. And…cars?

Scary! Glad you are safe!
Yikes! Poor kitties! Poor trees! That looks like a scary storm. Our extreme heat was not fun, either, but it caused less visible damage (except when it caused fires… 🙁 )

Oh my goodness! I’m just catching up with you afterwards. I hope that May and Chaos are ok now especially after their move.
