Wild Weather

Around dinner time, while I was looking at those townhomes, a line of severe storms passed through and left quite a mess in their wake. The wind seemed to come from all directions so trees would be bent one way, then tossed in another. They were twitching around so much and so quickly they looked artificially animated; a very strange sight.

We picked our moments in let-ups of the downpour to run from one unit to another. Dierdre took me around to see four of them in the same complex. The first 2 had a couple of things going for them but the last 2 showed better and would need less work; I'd consider putting an offer in on either but there are more in the area to see. It's all about price point, space, upgrades and finishes, and an early closing date. Definitely an early closing.

Driving home was quite a scene with the power knocked out and backups at every intersection as the signal lights were out, too. Branches, leaves and whole trees down everywhere. The storm stopped and skies cleared during the short time I was back home and then it socked right back in again with high winds and driving rain. I hung in at home until the power was restored but just as I left to come to work the sky looked really sick - that greeny/gray/purpley colour that tells you tornadoes are a possibility. During that drive I had one eye on the road; the other on the sky for funnels.
