A BIG,
bad storm!
Yesterday's storm brought 2 (some are now saying 5) tornadoes to the area with up to 120 mph winds. We lost
7 trees (and a few more deeper in the woods). We were out of power for 21 hours. The power company reported about 50,000 customers lost power. Tens of thousands are still without power. And, we spent over 13 hours cleaning up the yard.
But, we are SO grateful. Our "damage" is nothing compared
to the damage that a lot of families in town and in the neighboring towns are dealing with. And, we're praying for those families.
Here are a few pictures of our damage...
 |
| The top of this tree landed right on the beach. |
 |
| This tree at the back of the pond went down... fortunately it didn't land IN the pond! |
 |
| This tree in the front yard went down right outside my office window. |
 |
| Amazingly, Michael's bird feeder/tree invention didn't encounter any damage! |
 |
| Lumberjack Mikey spent the day strapped to his chainsaw... |
 |
| ...And I was very proud of him for wearing most of his PPE! |
Michael and I have been through our fair share of weather-related disasters. We have learned so many lessons and the best lesson we have learned:
Keep a positive attitude and count your blessings!
