Wild Night.

Last night we had a bit of a storm roll though. It was only after day light that we could survey the damage. Since the time change this weekend, this morning when I left it was still somewhat dark, so I wasn't able to check the roof and see if there was any shingles missing. I just let it be and went on to work. On the way to work I drove by Mom and Dad's place. This was abit of a shock. A 40 Ft section of somewhat healthy tree was blown over into the tree standing 20 Ft to it's east. The tree that the section fell into had a section knocked to of in and it hit the house and then the ground. There is only minor damage on the shingles and the drip edge is a little wrinkled. The larger section of tree is still connected to the tree it fell out of and is wedged into the other tree. Might be a little tricky to remove. This we will have to tackle on another day. We did go out to the storage building Rudy and Brando stores their camper and about a 30Ft section of the roof is missing. Luckily no damage to any of the campers stored inside. There are several trees down in the area, and reports of things blown into the road. For one a house.....Yes and house. I thinking modular home. Also a tractor was blown into the road. These are just stories from people but no specifics on where. Needles says there was a lot o damage on her way to work. Roofs missing from homes and trees up rooted. We I got home I looked over the homestead and everything appears to be fine here. We dodged the bullet yet again.

Just glad everyone was ok and for the most part still standing. Sounds like all around us got a beating.
