CRAZY WEATHER IN AZ. PHOTO STORY FRIDAY

SO IT ISN'T REALLY A PHOTO BUT A SHORT VIDEO WITH ME TALKING. but HOLY COW. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

IT'S TRUE! WE DON'T GET MUCH WEATHER HERE, SO MAYBE THIS HAPPENS SOMEWHERE ELSE.

FEEL FREE TO TELL ME.

I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING. and really that is all that matters . Oh and you get to hear my voice. not my fave feature about myself. you know how it always sounds weird to hear your own voice? yeah hate mine.


PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

Hope your Friday is FABULOUS!


and did you hear Lance screaming behind me in the last 2 seconds? right after i said, "Creepy", Lance yelled through the door and scared the HECK outta me! freaking Jerk! i totally screamed. i am such a girl!

he thought it would be the funniest thing ever to get it on video and was truly disappointed that i'd just barely missed it. but i am not sad.

the news said it was over 1700 strikes in the hour...It was crazy!! I too have never seen anything like this.

However, I am not cool like you and didnt think of taking a video or even a photo for that matter.

Devri said...

I am glad I have never seen that, I'd pee my pants I think!!

Was that not the most amazing thing tonight?? I loved every minute of it! It felt like we were in the middle of a strobe light show. Reminded me of my teenage years at the roller rink! :)

Andrea said...

Oooh I'm so glad you video'd it! I LOVED the light show!! I was driving to my parents' house while watching it. I made my dad go out to see the lights! then it started to sprinkle. I was there maybe all of 5 minutes and had to go when all of a sudden came the down pour! Holy shmoly! My dad tried to walk me out with an umbrella but we both got drenched anyway. When I got home, Ben tried to meet me at the car with an umbrella, but as soon as i opened my door, it felt like someone just threw a bucket of water at me! haha

LOVE the storm!!!

Cecily R said...

I totally wondered what the roar was in the background in the last seconds...I was going to ask if you were alright!

THAT is some crazy butt (I can't say the real word...gotta keep this family friendly, you know!) weather!!! Holy CRAP! I've never seen anything like that.

And your voice is DIVINE.

Cecily R said...

And RAD.

jes said...

yes, i love the storm that we are having tonight. it is still going on out here in gilbert at my house, it's like 11:30

Cecilia said...

Wow that's some crazy, creepy, scary weather!!!

Are You Serious! said...

♥ That is some crazy weather! I was wondering what that noise was! :)

michelle said...

I LOVED it! I am so glad you got it on video! The constant rumble in the sky was something else too!

Head Gaggler said...

Wow, that was really awesome footage! I love storms like that and we get a bunch during the spring.

Hautemama said...

Wow - That is very cool!! I've never seen anything like that at all.

Micah and Jen said...

HOW AWESOME! Micah says it is just like in Texas when he was on his mission....a REAL monsoon! LOVE that you took video of it and shared! :)

tammy said...

It was pretty amazing huh. I always freak out though and worry about my house getting stuck and catching on fire. I've seen that happen twice and me no likey that thought. I gave the boys a homepathic sleeping pill so the storm wouldn't keep them awake. Now they probably won't want to wake up.

Shannon said...

THat is awesome! We have to head to the basement at least once each year because a tornado is passing through. I find weather super exciting and fascinating. I probably should be a bit more afraid and little less excited but i can't help it.

kay said...

you don't get weather like that there? strange. that's normal for us. but i'm glad it was so excitement for you! :)

and i loved hearing your voice!! i'm going to play it over and over so i can get it in my head. then i can put your face and your voice together. yippee!!

AutoSysGene said...

Holy cow! The last time we had weather like that was when we had a mini microburst.

I love that it's lightning like crazy and your outside taking video!!

Jenn said...

I love a good lightning storm-- did your kids like watching it or did it scare them? Since they see it so rarely...

Ruth Anne said...

I actually got kinda scared. cool photage

andrea said...

Wow.

That is amazing....did you think the world was coming to an end?!

Storm like that are so awesome....scary awesome.

Anonymous said...

It was awesome!!! I got to see some of it from the air, it was amazing but it got even better when I got home, the lighting was striking so close to our car, my kids were totally freaked out and then my house was shaking from the thunder all I can say is W-O-W!!!!!!

~Lori said...

Wow! That was awesome! I love storms like that. But, we usually lose our power when stuff like that happens! It's called living in the boonies! :)

TZ Crew said...

We stayed up and watched the storm last night too it was amazing! I love the commentary video!

Sarah said...

Great video! I enjoyed watching it through the sliding glass door from the comfort of my couch though. I wish now that I'd thought to get up and go out to look at it. What a bummer! I'm sure it was more amazing from outside!

I totally have your RAD done! Just finished it this morning. I think it turned out pretty darn cute! Of course I'm biased. Leslie had suggested we set up a lunch date w/the 3 of us, since she still needs to give you your bag...atleast I think that's what she was saying...

tammi said...

Great video!! Cool that you captured something so rare, too!

Jenifer said...

Loved last night! The lightning never stopped! I just wish the thunder would start up AFTER my kids were asleep. They can sleep through anything, but can't get to sleep if it is scary noisy.

Carrie and Troy Keiser said...

Great video of your weather! We get that a lot in Eastern MT. But I do remember it being quite a big deal when we lived in Phoenix and it rained that one day way back in 1993!

Susan said...

I can imagine that a night like that would be scary when you aren't used to it. I grew up in Florida and nights like that are actually exhilarating to me. Love it!

Connie said...

That was some amazing weather! We don't get weather here either....

Vidal's Nest said...

I loved it too! I was telling my dad about it. I'll have to have him check out your blog to see the video. I think you have to see it to believe it!

Cara @ Gardenview Cottage said...

Love that you videoed it - that's awesome! I loved it totally! It was amazing then I was watching the news this morning and it was a class 1 huricane in PHX last night - ripped roofs off and knocked down huge trees and blew block walls right over - wow! I'm sure we had a hurrican here on Wed. It was crazy! The wind, hail and rain - I'm going to post my crazy story!
