Beautiful to Ugly

This morning was gorgeous outside. It turned ugly very fast! Around 2ish I believe, it started to get real nasty looking outside. So I let the dogs out quick, and I wasn't the only one with that idea. Our neighbor who has Sadies sister (Ella) and is currently babysitting their brother (Fred) and their other dog Addison were also out. They all just wanted to play, but the storm was coming fast!

I turned off all the appliances and such. And sat in the stairwell (I feel safe there because there is no windows...) Anyway, I heard three loud crashes, and boom, our electricity was out. That's when I moved into the bathroom with the dogs, my phone and a flashlight! I'm so paranoid...

In the end, the storm passed, and we were out electricity for about 45 mins. In which I found out our smoke alarm is run by electricity and was going crazy while everything was shut off. VERY annoying for 45 min.

Then I'm sitting here (already freaked out mind you) and I swear I hear screaming outside (kinda distant) and then I heard what my mind thinks is a gun shot. I have no idea what that really sounds like, but right now, I am assuming? So I checked all the doors quickly and lowered the blinds and shut them. I'm sure its nothing, but this afternoon has just been so scary! Sometimes paranoia is annoying.
