Could be worse; could be raining!


After the storm, several pepper plants were lying flat on the ground.

I lost a few tomatoes.

But down the road and around the corner, they were dealing with this fallen tree.


Another neighbor had this in her yard.


Yet another had a tree branch sticking into the roof like a spear.


Some streets were impassible.


Power was out most of the day. We were lucky there, too; nearby neighborhoods were still out of power all day Saturday. We had fans and lights by Friday night.
I had to climb into a garage window to manually open the door. Shingles from the garage roof litter the lawn. But really, it could be much, much worse. We're pretty lucky this time.

Wish I could have seen you climbing into the garage window . . .
Happy that all turned out well for you and your place!
