Storm Damage

We had some wicked storms in the Burgh yesterday. I'm telling you it was some scary stuff. The first round came through at about 8am. I had just arrived at work thankfully about 10 minutes ahead of the storms. The skies turned black as night and then just released their fury. Loads of rain, lightning, etc. Then we had a nice break until about 2:30 in the afternoon, then BAM!! I'm telling you, it was the same black as night look to the skies except this time the lightning, thunder, and rain was combined with insane wind. I was thankfully still at the office and believe you me...far away from my windows. The wind was howling, small branches were flying around, and I swear everything had a swirling motion to it. I was so ready to take shelter and head to the basement of the building. I was borderline panic mode and all the guys I work with were having a field day making fun of me. Whatever!! Don't they know that I love all things weather and once I heard that a tornado warning was issued I should have had the right to panic! A tornado warning is issued when: "a tornado is reported on the ground or on doppler radar". Ahhhhh!! Anyway, thankfully we all survived the storms. I left work after the second round of storms and it took me a good hour and a half to make it home. Power was out all over town and loads of trees were down across the roads. A third round of storms came through around 7p but was nothing compared to the other two. Anyway, here's a few pics of the damage from around here.
