dimanche apres-midi: orage/tornade avec des vents a 110kms/h. Dans notre quartier, nous avons perdu l'electricite vers 16h mais n'avons eu aucun degat materiel.
Plusieurs grosses branches et un enorme arbre est tombe dans la rue a cote de la notre et les cables electriques etaient sur la chausee (oui c'est encore un systeme aerien!).
Les enfants du quartier se sont reunis chez Harper (notre baby sitter) et ils se sont amuses avec des jeux projettant de l'eau pendant une bonne heure. Le soir, nous avons tous dormi en bas et avons ouvert le divant lit, Rachel avec papa et Natalie avec moi dans le lit. Lundi matin elles m'ont accompagne au travail et se sont bien amusees.
L'electricite est revenue hier vers midi et les filles ont retrouve leur lit mais elles auraient bien voulu encore dormir en bas.
Sunday afternoon we experienced a bad storm/tornado with winds at 70 miles an hour. A huge tree fell on Cushing Street and crashed 2 cars but nobody got hurt and no house was destroyed. We just lost power for 20 hours.
Our baby sitter invited all the kids from the neighborhood to join and play water games in their front yard. Twenty kids got together and the girls quite shy in the beginning finally joined the crowd and had a great time. We came home around 7pm, had dinner I had cooked earlier in the day and retreated to the basement.
It was 85 degrees in the bedrooms and the 75 degrees in the basement were much better. The girls enjoyed spending the night with us, Rachel slept with her dad on the sofa bed and Natalie with me in the bed. Thank you Yossi for having bought the storm light.
The next day, Rachel and Natalie came to work with me. They behaved very well, said hi to everybody, gave/got hugs and kisses. They colored, cut, glued, played with balloons and of course watched TV. My colleague in IT configured a pc so they could watch their European DVDs. Rachel preferred to stay with my friend Maria and watched TV on the huge screen. They had a good time and were in no rush to go home.

Nice job, Yossi! And yay neighbor with the water games!
Wow - I am so impressed that they behaved so nicely all day at your office!
So glad to hear that the electricity is back on too.
