A wild storm came thru in the night. Quite a bit of wind with the thunderstorm. It made me think of tornadoes back home and I asked Lonnie if we shouldn’t find a safe place and he says, “You’re in the safest place.”. And then I wondered if we shouldn’t surely get the girls down from upstairs, but he didn’t think that was necessary either.. we could hear the wind howling around the house and things crashing about outside.. we Are in a concrete house.. I said a prayer for our neighbors near and in surrounding villages that live in such flimsy looking houses with metal roofs.. I can’t even imagine how terrifying it would be! But in the morning, the damages weren’t so major. Tulshi did report his cowshed roof got messed up, but otherwise ok. Says his house is in a protected spot from the wind.
The power was out from 11:00 last night and all morning. Thankfully, some cooler weather was brought in. The girls played in the water on the roof again after school. With it not being as hot, the water from the tank on the roof is also a nice temperature to enjoy, and not too hot. The time on the roof also served the dual purpose of cleaning it of the debris from the storm. Gentry enjoyed sitting in the water, with the girls slipping, sliding, and splashing around him also 💦
After Christina’s supper, Jaira crashed on the couch after being awake since the early morning hours and also coming down with something… headache, sore throat, and low grade fever. Maddie went to bed early also after waking early this morning. Lonnie was out playing Carrom and I was enjoying the beautiful cool evening outside with Annslie and Tulshi and then Gentry also after his nap. Night guard, Shunil, did not come tonight as he had been in to the hosp. again with his high blood pressure… Tulshi stayed almost an hour later.
