I was not home--but when I got home--in the pouring rain--so many of my
pots and stands were blown over. Some stands toppled to the floor...
My Calla Lily--my Braz. Plume pot---my heavy pot of Pony Tail palms--down
and rolled about 4 feet from where the stand was.
There is a lg. dead branch just hanging down from my tree. It has many
dead branches that come tumbling down in high winds...Nature's pruning....

Must have been some serious gusts of wind....I was driving home under this
dark gray sky overhead--like a lid on the world...

When it was all over--there was this yellow/orange glow outside.. Weird...

I went outside and took this picture...amazing that it is in focus--as I had it on zoom.
