Ok so I won't blow your house down but the howling winds that occurred in Pullman WA last night were absolutely scary! And, it sounded like it was blowing my house down flat. The wicked winds, crackling lightning and torrential rain woke me up last night. My daughter was stuck to me like glue and our poor dog was whining next to the bed. I couldn't believe the noise. It was incredible.
At this point, my husband and I were both up and my daughter opened her eyes in fright. We listended and watched the covered window as the lightning lit up the sky. It felt like there was a fireworks show going on right outside our home. I was hoping it would stop quickly. We fell back asleep, although restlessly, and when we awoke, we looked like we could use a tad more sleep.
When I arrived at work, the talk of the morning was the storm that had passed through our town. Everyone was talking about the storm, and the damage that this storm had caused. I felt lucky that we had not experienced any damage, just some wind strewn pieces of lawn furniture on our deck. I left the office and drove near the WSU campus. Oh my!
The damage I saw to many of the homes there was devastating. I took some pictures and returned to the office. One of my colleagues, Marian Hood, also took some pictures which I have attached below. Incredible pictures! I'm hoping we have a quiet night tonight....we all need the sleep.
