This morning started off with another bad thunderstorm. The rain was coming down so hard I could barely see across the street. Everything was blowing around the patio and trees were bending in ways they shouldn’t be. Donny came home from work because they lost power. We’re pretty sure they are on the same power grid as our old house was because if the wind blew at all we would always lose power. Luckily we didn’t lose it here. Donny had to run to Tyler to pick up some tags because they had run out at his store, so he asked me if I wanted to take the drive with him. It’s not bad, only about 45 minutes.

Tyler had gotten hit hard by the storm Monday night and also by the one today. There was a tree that had fallen over into the highway.

When we got into Tyler there were trees down everywhere, either completely uprooted or snapped in half. We decided that Tyler should be renamed Little Dallas because the traffic was awful for it just being a Tuesday afternoon. It really makes me appreciate Longview even more.

It was a quick trip, just picking up the tags and heading back. We were going to grab lunch but, of course, it was a struggle to figure out where to eat so we just got rolling food at 7-11 and I got the best thing of the day, a frozen Dr. Pepper slurpee.

I really miss picking Donny up from work because we had the best talks, so this was a fun day. Although because I have what we call Carcolepsy (I basically fall asleep on any trip over 10 miles) I took a nice little nap for about 30 minutes when I got back to the house since I didn’t get my car nap. And it’s suppose to rain again tomorrow. I seem to write about the weather a lot, but there has been some serious storming going on around here lately.
