gone with the wind

13 July 2008

I am totally new to the video element, so this has taken a few days to learn. After many attempts, I am ready to post a few videos of MN. The first is of the night of the Reuder Invitation bar-b-que. All day the winds gusted. All day the "women-folk" asked the "men" if they wanted to move the BBQ headquarters inside. All day the men grunted and said no (well, maybe just Johnny). 10 minutes before BBQ kickoff we took this video from the house. After 30 minutes we went to the party. What happened during that time (besides the obvious)? A waterspout developed right off our dock, we ran to the basement, winds gusted at 75 mph, trees came down, waves came over the dock, deck chairs were turned upside-down then rightside-up, adirondack chairs landed in the pines, and the picture window began leaking because of the pounding rain. 30 minutes. And then the sun came out.

Marlys is SUCH a Tech-Head. And just think, about 20 years ago Marlys announced that she sees no need to take keyboarding and understanding computers. YA RIGHT!
Now it's blogs, photos, and videos.

Nice job on the video!! The funnel cloud passing in front of the dock is some great footage!
