Saturday morning, Jan. 21, we went out
early for a few errands. The grocery store cheered us with the sight
of Easter candy and Peeps.
Other than that it was most definitely
an indoor day! Wind, heavy rain, wild surf, thunder.....
It let up for brief spells but never
stopped entirely. It was fascinating to see the Gulf so wild, would
not have supposed it could do so.
We did, of course, sneak out for a
walk.....
The wind was so strong the water was slopping over the side of the pool.
Sunday morning we were awokén at 3:20
by a thunderstorm, and many more came. I have never
seen such a dark gray sky. It wa hard to see the horizon as the Gulf
and sky were the same colour. Judging by the thunder and lightening,
the storm must have been right over us!
However,
it was not enough to keep us from getting out for a walk in a dryer
moment.
That
did not last though and we did not leave the apartment again that
day. The next storm brough even heavier wind and rain, with the
electricity blinking. There were general tornado warnings for the
area all day, and in the middle of the afternoon we were put on alert
for tornado said to be sighted in the Panamy City Beach. We took what
precautions we could, but fortunately nothing happened. We did hear
later that a tornado was actually in the area.
