Storm Damage




We had some major storms this weekend!  I could have sworn I heard our neighbors vacuuming their car in the garage but it was the wind!!  We had it all, lightning, thunder, wind, and hail... it was so bad.  We've had the strangest June weather...  

Chris, his mom, Max and I went riding through Stoneridge after the storms and I snapped some pics of all the damage.  Our home builder lives back there and he said they had 9 trees down; and these are OLD trees!!  Fortunately only 2 homes were hit by falling trees (seriously, if you saw the damage you'd know how amazing that is) and we only saw one car with a tree on top.  I also took a pic of the "damage" that was done at our house, take a look!

Crazy friggin weather!
I call this one the "peeled banana"...
Jeanene by one of the huge broken trees...
the earth around the tree completely uprooted!
and.... the damage to our home... 



... one patio chair blown over about 3 feet.  All our wimpy trees made it out of the storm just fine!  :)

Weather scares me! It can be so powerful and out of your control. I'm just waiting for my first real hurricane! So glad the storm track wasn't through Pasture Ct.
