Touched by an Avalanche...

 ...an "avalanche" of rain, that is.
 If our rain gauge is accurate, a 4"-5" AVALANCHE!
 On my way to our backyard cabin, I couldn't resist photographing some of the
 aftermath of the "avalanche".


A siren went off in our small town -- around midnight, I think.
It was a pretty weak one.  I went downstairs to get more information.
There was a tornado watch posted for a large portion of NE Indiana until 6:00 this morning.
I went back to bed and "slept" quite fitfully.
There were no more sirens.

 With more rain in the forecast,
 I see frequent lawn-mowing and weed-pulling in our future!

    1. It is actually a bush that we've trimmed like a tree :) The branches were heavy with rain - it was hanging down over the path this morning!

  2. More storms rolling through today. With all the rain everything is so lush and green. I would love to have a little getaway like your cabin. (sigh)

    1. I'm going to have to look it up, Lea. It may be a type of viburnum. It's actually a bush. We have trimmed to to grow like a tree and it now stands probably 12-15' tall!

  6. rain would really be welcome here. I could do without a tornado warning though. Too much of that across the US.
