I was admiring the dark clouds out west and knew they would reach us soon. I was in my room when the shooting started....I mean huge hail started pounding the windows and popping up and down in the grass. It was a sight to see. It was powerful. It came fast and hard. It only lasted a few minutes here but made it's point! I guess just east of us, in Riverdale, they were also treated with a tornado. A friend of mine had her windshield break and saw another guys shatter. We have had the strangest weather the last few years. The power is out all over Ogden...we got lucky this time, our's stayed on.
The cows can move quick. I watched as they ran across the field over to where they get fed. I felt bad for them. I bet all that Hail scared them. I can't imagine how it would feel to be hit with those hard balls of ice being forced down so hard. (ouch) I"m glad it passed quickly
Just after we were hit a tornado went through Riverdale and Washington Terrace. (just east of us) It spun with a vengeance. It ripped off roofs, lifted up vehicles and uprooted trees and retaining walls. The power lines fell and thousands were without power. It broke windows in homes and cars...it was mean. My mom was lucky. She ended up with someone's shed in her backyard and lots of broken branches but nothing broke and she was able to stay home. Her neighbor two doors east and across the street was evacuated. Donna (neighbor) lives on a corner and her retaining wall was tore out and the police didn't feel like it would be safe for Donna to stay. Trees were uprooted and laying all over these two little cities. Crazy weather....I kept thinking "we're not in Kansas anymore".
