Weirdness, Tornadoes, New Groups, And Quizzes...
First of all: A relative sent me the weirdest video of all time. Someone actually takes their horse to McDonald’s, lets it ride in the car, lets it sleep in a bed of its own, etc... It has to be seen to be believed. From what I understand, it’s actually someone that lives in the state--I don’t know if it’s nearby or not.
Next: There was a bit of bad weather yesterday. Actually, a tornado, along with a thunderstorm, and wind up to 70 mph. The wind was so strong that it caused a tree to fall over at my grandmother’s former house. There isn’t even a stump left--it was a clean slice. The tree was over 50 years old, as near as anyone can tell. (Dad remembers it from when he was very little, so it’s older than him.) And if it had fallen a little more in the opposite direction, it would have taken out half of her house, and a neighbor’s as well. As it is, it only destroyed the old clothes line that hadn’t been used in 5 years.
From all the rain, the front yard was flooded. The field behind our backyard looked like a river or lake. Mom took pictures, and when they’re developed I’ll post them here.
Oh, also? Dad drove home during everything, and made it home right before the tornado hit. There’s a one road bridge that Dad takes to get home. Just as he turned he noticed that the bridge was gone (completely gone) from the high waters. He quickly took another way home.
Because of all the madness, I missed the first 20 minutes of American Idol. Thankfully, the power didn’t go out and I was able to watch TV--and they didn’t send home anyone until after I started watching. Unfortunately, the power did go out for my aunt, and only came back this morning.
And on a much lighter note, that Firefly group that
hopefulnebula and I made? (The one that is similar to
btvsats_20.) Applications open today. The group is
big_damn_quests. I’m going to advertise in a few Firefly related groups later, once we have a banner. Challenges and everything should start at the beginning of April.
And, finally, a quiz. It’s been posted a few times before, but it’s apparently going around the Friends List again.
