Wind and Humidity

HUMIDITY
Last Saturday our church had a picnic at one of the local parks. We had a good turnout of youth and young adults. Up until Saturday, the weather had been nice and cool. But the weather gave a slight turn on Saturday and gave us a very sunny and humid, very humid, day. Despite how hot it was, we all had a great time playing games and talking. We played corn hole and softball, and ate very yummy hamburgers!

WINDS
Sunday was an unusual and interesting day. Mostly because we had to anchor down in order not to blow away. I spent the day at my sisters house in Hanover where we had winds up to 75mph. At around 2pm, the wind started to get really forceful. Vanette and were finding great entertainment in looking out the window at the neighbors house (pictured below), watching everything that the wind was damaging. We were amazed at what all was happening. It was about that time that I remembered the tree at the end of the house, positioned so that if it snapped would fall toward the house. I mentioned this thought to Vanette and she just laughed and said "oh, you don't have to worry about it because it's not on your end of the house". About that time one of my nieces came in and said something about a tree and falling on the truck. In our distraction, we simply thought she was asking if it would fall. She was followed with Jeff, who said "did you hear that tree fall on the truck?" That got our attention and we went out to find that the truck was covered by half of the tree. Luckily, it was covered mostly by the small branches and not the bigger limbs. There was no damage done.

We ended up canceling church Sunday night for a few reasons. Number 1, the state of Indiana issued a state of emergency and did not want people out on the roads for obvious reasons. Number 2, most of our people are from KY and in order for them to come into IN they have to cross a bridge over the Ohio River. The state of KY closed this bridge around 3pm because of it shifting. Scary! So, we stayed home and made pizza!!
