Yesterday's practice was unexpectedly canceled. Thomas was sleeping because he didn't get off work until 7:30 yesterday AM. I had been working on baseball stuff all day and with Toby at home really didn't watch anything on TV that didn't involve a Disney character of come sort. Hunter got off the school bus and walked in the door around 3:50pm or so. It was hot, calm, very few clouds and the sun was shining. We discussed his homework and I sent him directly to his room to get dressed for practice. I unpacked Hunter's book bag and heard a noise outside. It was probably around 4PM. I got up to look outside and check it out. The sky was dark but no rain and the wind was whipping. The temp felt at least 15 degrees cooler. I looked behind the house to see this huge rain cloud coming at us like a bullet. I called Hunter and told him to wake his dad and rushed to take the dog out before the bottom fell out. Needless to say I was drenched by the time I got the dog back in and she didn't even get time to finish her business. Thomas (whom should have been up almost an hour prior) was sleepy eyed and shocked. We watched as it kept getting dark and the rain just poured. We don't live far from the field where practice was to be held so we were pretty confident that the field would be in bad shape even if the rain stopped. Thomas made a few calls and I checked the radar. He quickly decided to cancel practice. He wasn't happy but knew that it would be best.
Here is a picture of a radar that was sent to me by one of our parents.
I sure hope that tonight's weather is much better.
