The dangerous storm systems that traveled up the East Coast today were certainly a great deal more than an interference with our lives - they took some lives on their way.
We had high winds and rains for hours, but were spared the worst of it.
My older nephew put out numerous cans and bags of garbage for pickup tomorrow. As the winds hit, we watched everything go flying down the street . He went back out and moved it all back. It happened again.
My younger nephew was blown over by the wind when he got off his bus. He was more amused than hurt.
When a friend called to see how I was, I explained that all was well except for the cow that flew by my window.
And now it seems so quiet. There's no wind howling, no rain pounding down and no objects hitting the side of the house. Just an occasional gale of wind, followed by the sound of the plastic moving on my wall air conditioner which earlier was rattling in and out of its casing.
It reminded me of when the apostles became frightened after a storm blew up at sea and Jesus reminded them not to be afraid. It became a lesson in faith for them. Imagine how frightening a storm on the water would be when one on land can be so fierce!
How sweet the calm after the storm is.

I'm glad your nephew wasn't hurt and can laugh about it! We had tornados in south Alabama, but everything was OK in our part of the state. I'm glad you're OK, too.
Looking forward to a beautiful day today.
