to kak za, sriberry, hartini, nora, mey , missi and faisal, thank you so much for the doas eh :) appreciate it lots.

well, due to all the bad weather, we did not go camping lah. which is good sebab every night there were bad storms all around us. first night, i was okay lah..the second night, i was like, oh my god..it was getting on my nerves. i just went to bed after a while. on the third night, tu lah yang i guess the worst for us.

let's talk about the second night, where sean was very worried for the first time. there was this particular cell that was moving in our direction and the weather person on tv said that there was rotation and then annouced that there was a tornado touching down. and he said that the tornado was a mile and a half wide. that was an EF6 tornado, should it go through any town, it'll be like greensburg. that was what making sean so nervous, but alhamdullilah, it weakened once it got out of the Great Bend area. a town that's 60 miles of us.

then last night, there were rows and rows of storm cells going through this area. well, the past few nights were like that lah. we did however managed to go for a swim on saturday afternoon. the girls enjoyed themselves a lot. playing near and in the water. mak bapak diorang pun enjoy sama lah..hehe. then yesterday afternoon ingatkan nak pikenik kat situ lagi..while we were driving, sean pointed out to a cloud that was going upwards. what looked like a mushroom cloud. then sampai jer at the lake, we saw quite a number of ppl leaving. by then, it was about 3 pm. sampai jer kat campsite, i took out our food lah, and sean took out the weather radio. he and i saw the clouds on the horizon south of us and when the radio sounded, all we heard was the lake nyer area was under a tornado watch. belum sempat bukak makanan, drinks or even our camp chairs, sean cakap pack up. so pack up immediately and sarah started crying sebab she wanted to go swimming.

we had a friend with us, and he wanted to have sean launched his kite for him. he is a kite surfer, nanti i upload gambar dia. but sean told him, 'dude you have to go now. the storm is coming for us.' this guy pulak..alamak..don't get me wrong, i like him and he is intelligent, but when it comes to bad weather..ada ker dia tanya how long before the storm gets to the lake. sean said,' dude, it will be on top of us soon and best for you to get going.' and with that, sean said that we're jetting and sean drove fast trying to get back. which turned out to be fortuitous for us, becaue our area was put under a tornado watch and the lake was under a tornado watch and the warning came about an hour and a half later. before leaving, we saw the ranger driving up to the gate and i guess he is informing ppl of the impending storm. on our way out also, we saw everyone packing up.

anyway, i made a few videos trying to capture the atmosphere. :) more videos here and here :)
