And away they go...

I love taking photos and having a nice camera is something that I been wanting to have lately. I been seeing a lot of photography blogs and it's really frustrating knowing that I cannot take photo's as nice as they can. First of all, I cannot afford to get those nice camera's that photographer use. My digital camera is really old and I think it's just time to upgrade.

I found this really nice Canon camera online but I have to start saving now so I can get one before we go on vacation.

Tonight I took the picture above with my husband and daughter. We went to the park regardless of the tornado warning heading our way. Bad idea! Really bad.

We stayed there for about 30 minutes and when my husband said it was time to go, we started running toward the suv. The reason, the wind is starting to blow really hard. By the time we got to our vehicle, rain is pouring, lightning and thunder everywhere. In other word, we got hit by the storm while leaving the park. It was the most growling experience that I had since the Mt. Pinatubo Volcano eruption in the Philippines.

Have you seen the movie twister? Tonight it feels like that. We were trying to escape the storm and get home as fast as we could. Good thing it was my husband driving. I was really scared. Some of the power lines over in Mckinney were all down and there were traffic jam everywhere. People all just wanted to get shelter from the big storm. Good thing the storm passed quickly. By the time we got home, the storm was almost gone. We should have just stayed home.

On our way home, I was trying to get a photo of the rain but I can't hardly see it. It wast just all dark outside because of the heavy rain. I keep telling my husband I cannot see the road and that we should just stop somewhere safer. But the only place I can think of was the gasoline station where there is some sort of shelter. Then again, its dangerous since there's a lot of lightning. So he just keep driving until we got home.

Thank God, we are all safe. Although we got wet when we got out of the vehicle. But we are not doing that again.

Wow, that sounds really dangerous! I guess you guys learned your lesson now. :) But I guess it would be pretty cool to see a twister up close. As long as I am not inside it. LOL.
