The core of the Storm

.:Inside the mine:.
Night before last I was on the computer writeing a totaly different Journal blog, all about the fun things of my birthday with my brother, how the day was and all the wonderful things we got for the day, and the birthday yet to come of my mothers yesterday... And in the mist of writing this un-saved journal entery, a storm swept through faster then the reporters on TV could warn us, gusty winds, ice cold gusts that strangly rose from the grass every few minutes, lighting everywhere.
Other then the ice winds it was pretty much the norm for indiana weather, then it hit... The power whent cold in our house, the animals whent nuts and even our dog acted like she didint know us for a short spert, we had the cats in their crates for safty, of whom where meowing like they where cazy, then a second later what sounded like a metal wall hit our house and everything around. We didint know what it was at first, but sure enough it was a huge wall of hail that lasted 20 minutes, during this we took shelter in our hallway, the animals stayed acting crazy as the ground started to shake. My mom took this time to look out the window and see trees from next store, across the ally and in our own front yard fall to the wind, the hail hitting all living things like bullets and splattering the leafs againced our house like a christmas wrapping, water was still pouring when we noticed one of the cats had escaped her cage during the storm and bursted the door to get in my room. My fish where even acting funny due to the weather phanomanon and huddled in a tight school within their log, the thunder was still going and now the wind was ice cold when we saw only a few towns from us had a F1-F2 tornadoe perading down valporaso and several funnels in toe..
Though it was scary and the might of the storm took some of my favorite trees down, I cannot help but remember the amount of times trees have been taken insted of me. Though I love plants and animals this again sparks my undieing love and devotion to the might and wit of nature, though I fear it's bigest muricle, it's like the trees are always there to show the way. Though they die in the prosess I always see new ways to survive in their steed, this big storm has proved to be frightful. But with the tornadoe, wind gusts at 70 mph right here I have a feeling my brontaphobia is all but gone. Even my mom said this is the worced she's been in, I for one feel that those winds are always ranked right in line with F1 tornadoes anyway, so I survived my worced fear, and will forever, due to the protection nature gives me and the protection I give in return, for now and till my last breath, I will always give my life to it's fullest for those who gave thiers.
If I may, I wish to add that due to the sounds, the stress must have been to much for Marage, the rat illistrated in " Amerin blue/amerin closeup" And she died the morning after the storm.. So though me and my family survived okay and most of the animals, we did have a fetality from the shock of it all..
This is why I havent posted much wensday and thursday. but I'll make up for it.. Sorry everybody for not doing it sooner.
I woke up yesterday morning and when I opened my window the sky was covered in a weird fog, and the sun was in the darkest red I have ever seen, this caused everything it casted it's light on to be a maroon to blood red color. Looked almost like a Valcano had to have erupted somewhere, but there wasint any. The link below is of a tree that was pulled from our nabors yard and put in front of my window, not the best view to see first hand...

I hope the clear-up goes well.
We get tornadoes in North Carolina, but they're nowhere near as common, and usually not that bad because all the hills break them up.
