Storm clouds roll in over Vicksburg from the west Thursday in a photo take from The Vicksburg.

An Entergy truck getting our electricity back on this morning which took most of an hour. Our neighbor across the street saw sparks from the transformer yesterday evening during the storm but everyone else in the neighborhood had electricity. He had to work on the transformer, the line going to the house and the wires attached to our house. I'm so thankful to have air conditioning! It was a very hot night but glad we had ceiling fans that were still working in the kitchen and in the two back bedrooms. The electrician told me that only four men are working the 620 customers's without power and the others were on vacation and/or helping out with the stricken in Ohio.
A bolt of lightening destroyed a 20 year old wood and brick church but no one was inside at the time. The storm downed trees south of Interstate 20 near downtown with some flooding on some streets.
No break from the weather is in sight. A forecast for more strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, with the most potent capable of producing winds gust of up to 60 mph and quarter-size hail. We have a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms that will continue daily until next Tuesday.

Whats going on with you in the US , fires , thunders and disasters. Read about Feral Womans blog how they hardly escaped from the fires in MOntana...
Take care!!!
I wish I knew...my daughter and her family had outages in VA because of high winds and stayed in their basement to stay cool for about 3 days. Imagine they lost all of their food in the fridge. Our fridge stayed on but not sure about the freezer downstairs. Must be the sign of the times, I guess.
Do you have the link to the Feral Womans blog in Montana?
Thanks for coming by Lindsjo taxar! :)
