Let's Be Thankful...

this is our neighbor's tree.

it has fallen on another neighbor's garage.... and the power lines.... ugh. (please don't shut off our power to fix them!!! i know, they will probably have to. sigh.)
if it had fallen the opposite direction it would have been on our house.... right on bean's bedroom.

our fence is kinda damaged but we will take that over a damaged house (and possibly damaged child).
we are very thankful.
damn you wind! we have had enough of your fury this past 6 months. go bother someone else for a change!!!

hope everyone else who had to deal with this wind is safe, has power, and is doing well.

That is a HUGE tree to have fallen. So, so glad it didn't land on your house!

Glad it missed your house and more importantly Bean. Hope eveyone is doing well after the storm. We only lost power for about 10 minutes. No major trees down in the yard, just some branches

WOW! SO scary! I am so glad you're all ok!

We just had some limbs...nothing big...oh and our street sign fell over, thankfully no one was around!

Hope you still have power!!

So thankful! This really bring back memories of when I was a kid in Missouri, and we lost a giant tree in a tornado. a GIANT tree! Had it fallen one direction it would have been on the house...in another, on the power lines adn cars....or (worst of all according to dad!) on the gardens. And yet there was no damage - wow!
