The Calm after the Storm

We are still in Red Bay, Alabama, at the Allegro Campground.
Last night was pretty scary. Lots of storms going through all around and over us. Tornado sightings, but fortunately, most were aloft. Sirens blaring their warning blasts are quite disconcerting when you are sitting in a motorhome. The designated shelter is not large enough to hold everyone from the campground and they would not allow pets, so we were all in our motorhomes. It is questionable whether the building is a safe haven anyway. I'd rather be underground when a storm comes through.

But we were spared and feel thankful that everyone here is still intact today. It quit raining sometime during the night and the ground is starting to dry out. People are out milling around. We can see some blue sky above with some white puffy clouds along with some darker rain-type clouds. You can guess that science wasn't my thing by my cloud descriptions. :-)

The dogs made it though just fine. Neal was a little nervous. Terry put him on the couch with him at one point and that seemed to satisfy him. We pulled in our slides when the storm started, but wind was not a big factor. We were worried about hail, but we didn't have any here. I hope we are always able to avoid storms, but I suppose that is not too realistic. There was no where to go to drive out of this one. It covered too large a swath.

We are getting ready to go visit some relatives. I am waiting for the pill I took to start working. My sciatica is making life miserable for me. I am going to have to try something for it. I am interesting in looking into accupuncture, so if anyone reading knows of a good practioner, please let me know.

Till next time. . .
