F2 Tornado…touchdown 1 mile away

tornado_in_mobile

I live in the South. We like our mother nature with a 2 week notice, re: hurricanes. So yesterday when the whole “in like a lion” roared through hauling some spring showers, it also brought major thunder, lighting, power outages, and something totally unexpected- a tornado. Right down the street. It was super fun huddled [...]

Dauphin Island Oil Rigs in Every Direction

Last night we went out to Dauphin Island. Its been a few weeks since the infamous oil spill and reports of oil washing up  here have hit the news sporadically. While we did find some spots that looked suspiciously like oil soaked driftwood amidst our white sandy beaches, it could also be any number of [...]

Right out to the Oil Spill

I thought this was the best footage I have seen at all regarding the oil spill. Of course it didn’t come from a news organization, so that’s probably why. I am shocked it only has 2700 views on youtube…..you have to watch and pass on! If you head to this boaters site and go to [...]

OMG, get the Alabama ICK off of me!

[private] I just bought an above ground pool. Mind you not a “nice” one…. Nope, not a big one where  you can swim laps and build a deck around it and pretend its a “real” pool. A true “Cheapest One I Could get at Walmart” pool. Great. Just great. I’m turning into a redneck. I’m [...]

While outside with my daughter…….and my kitten playing around in the backyard, I look over to my left and see, what looks like a small rat, run across the fence line…which of course was a big black widow spider. I run over to take a picture of her and she had holed up in the fence [...]
