You'd think its March!

I don't know about those in other states, but those of us who live in South West Virginia have had some pretty crazy weather recently! 

We had a severe thunderstorm today, with heavy rains, and very strong wind. The saturated ground couldn't soak up any more water than it already has, so there was flooding (on a small scale) in some places. I really enjoy storms and rain, and was glad for a little weather excitement. There were tornado warnings as well, but thankfully not for our county. I went outside after the heavy rain has stopped and got some pictures of the water that had formed rivers in our woods and "lakes" on the driveway. 

I wondered where all the water from the driveway (which was pouring into the woods to form rivers) was coming from; there had to be a source on higher ground. So I followed all the mini rivers and found our neighbors yard was about 2-3 inches deep water. And since it was higher than our driveway, well- there you go. That was the source:) I found it quite interesting to explore:) 

Our drive way, became a lake! (Half of it is lower than other parts of our land.) 

Even after the rain had stopped, the wind has continued to blow strong and hard. Maybe it will help dry up some of this excess water;) 

The rivers...

That's the neighbors yard!

I guess maybe it was more than 2-3 inches, now that I am looking at it again;) 

The "running" driveway;) 

And that's part of our front yard. 

The storm clouds...drifting away...

And to make it even more weird- it was 61 degrees today, in February- and it's been in the 40's. No wonder there were tornado warnings! 

Some of the mess left behind

And I guess that's all the pictures I have:) 

Did anyone else get a storm this past week? 

Until next time,
