Oh man!

I was in college and then I heard thunder, we were on our break and things got seriously dark outside. As soon as I got downstairs, a storm kicked in. It was a downpour, the wind picked up. It got to the point where the wind was so strong, it was pure white outside. You could not see a thing. It was hailing too! The power went out, and we stayed there until it was over. It only lasted for less than 10 minutes...

But after leaving, branches, limbs, and fallen trees everywhere. No joke. A couple of roofs were peeled, and even one house got a tree directly on it. Numerous trees got snapped in half. Some roads got blocked, especially this major one that I usually use to go home (without going into town). The powerlines got knocked over right where the hospital is. The shocking part is that where my house is, there's no damage. The trashcans didn't move, but the otherside got it bad.

Well, actually, this one MASSIVE tree about a minute and a half drive away from me got taken down. I was in pure shock. I never seen this place in such a mess in my life, and this was a quick surge. Lasted any longer, and we would've been screwed.

At least, as far as I know. No one got hurt. Well, 'sides the trees. It was pretty scary, but pretty awesome too. Hehe...

Downtown has no power. I never expected something like this. Whew..
