Weekend and Wild Weather

Saturday was a beautiful day with temperatures in the upper 70s. Brent came over early and brought his dogs. Linda was starting the Triump when he arrived and they immediately took a ride into town in it. They had the top off and were both enjoying the nice weather. Later in the day we took the dogs walking around the pond and the rest of the farm. We loaded into Linda's Mustang and went to town to eat at Hamilton's BBQ. Once we finished eating we rode out of town to the road to Dale Hollow Lake and took a slow drive through the country, back through town and to the farm. Stacey and Brent were ready for naps, so they laid down to watch TV. I went and mowed behind the trailer and down by the creek. We watched the NCAA Men's Final Four games in the evening.
Sunday was nice in the morning but clouds began to appear by mid morning. We took a short walk and let the dogs play outside a little before lunch. I fixed chicken salad sandwiches for lunch. We watched the start of the NASCAR race, and then went outside again. Linda and I took a Mule ride around the hay fields and spotted a tree we want to mark for transplanting this fall. It began to rain and we had a nice shower for about 30 minutes. Brent took his dogs and headed to his house about 5 PM. I told Linda there were severe weather forecasts for TN and KY. About 7 PM the weather alert radio sounded an alarm and we were under a 'tornado watch'. I started watching the Nashville channels and they were reporting tornadoes in western TN. Around 9 PM the radio sounded another alarm and we were in a 'tornado warning'. I started the laptop and checked the online radar sites and then we jumped in the Mule and I parked the trucks inside the sheds with Linda picking me up and bringing me back to the house. I continued to monitor the radar sites and keep an eye on the weather reports being broadcast at each commercial break. The tornadoes were never closer than about fifty miles to our location. About 11:45 I decided the worst was over and I went to bed.
