Weathering the Storm

By ben  

A thunderstorm early this evening generated a “downburst” near I-94 and highway 50. This led to the tornado sirens sounding. We spent about ten minutes in the basement before realizing the storm was far enough south that it wouldn’t threaten us.

When another big storm hit earlier this summer (on June 8), we pulled Eliana out of her crib just after her usual bedtime, and the three of us gathered in the basement. I am sharing two videos from that night. The first is the three of us hanging out in the basement, and the second is some of the lightning outside our window, which Jenelle recorded after the worst of the storm was past us.
