A Lion of a Storm - April 25th

  • Just in time for the Feast of St. Mark the Evangelist, we had a lion of a storm!

    The building (below) belongs to the neighbor. The debris is scattered in my yard. We got a ton of rain and a ton of wind.

    I wonder if this damage wasn't done by a microburst or small tornado.
    Want to say "thank you"?

  • Wow, that stuff could have injured someone or an animal. Must have been exciting to watch. There was also a huge EQ in Nepal early this morning.  We have a fire going right now because it got very cold.  
    St. Mark, pray for us.

  • It happened around 5 in the morning -- we could hear the storm, but we couldn't see anything until morning.

  • Matthew,
    Do you have the Scapular of Benediction and Protection at your house? If not, see this link:
    http://www.sacramentals.com/ScapularofBenediction.htm  or do a search. I can tell you many stories of how this scapular protected our home and the homes of many families we have given it to.
    The love of God be your motivation, the will of God your guiding principle, the glory of God your goal.
    (St. Clement Mary Hofbauer)

  • I would definitely assume a microburst did that unless the building was already to fall down. We had the same thing here last spring . Very localized, powerful, and destructive.
