Rough Weather

 Rough Weather
Yesterday afternoon wind and rain moved through the area of southwestern Pennsylvania close to where I live. About two miles away, utility poles were pushed over and trees were damaged. I’ve seen some photographs of areas close too my home, but haven’t attempted to drive to those areas. I’ve heard reports that several roads are closed to traffic, but the road I drove to church was open last evening to go to church and was able to worship God, sing, and pray.
Yesterday afternoon, the wind began to increase and warnings on the television announced a tornado warning. All of a sudden, the electricity flickered and the rain began to pelt my house. As directed by the announcement, I moved away from windows. The rain gushed across the windows at the rear of my house. I’m glad that the wind came from the west and not from the east. I have outdoor furniture on my front porch and never would have been ablt to gather them up and move them into the basement. The velocity of that wind would have collected them and strewn them into the next county.
My daughter Anna Prinkey called me this morning as she drove to work and shared some of the damages done nearby. Some roads are still closed this morning because of tree and electric power pole damage. The men from the power company and the men who clear the trees will be busy today. I am so thankful for those men and pray for thsir safety.
I am glad that I don’t have to leave home and pray for those who do have to travel to their jobs. Keep a watchful eye out for danger, Be safe.
