Windstorm




Jon left for work about 7:00 and then I called him about 7:30 because I was freaking out. I saw that our fence was down, but what scared me was the sound of the siding coming off of our house. It was so loud and you could hear the popping of the nails coming out. I went down to the sun room and the door had come open and you could see the aluminum siding flapping around.



Here is the siding flying around the neighborhood.


This was a tree that went down and soon after the fireman came and I wondered why, but I didn't notice the house further in the picture with the tree leaning on it.


Make note of the standing pine tree closest to me in the picture. This is taken from my front yard.

Then that's my house to the left. I went across the street to take this picture. Jaxson and I watched this tree go down. A car had to swerve to miss it.


Our fences down. Hello Neighbors!


This is our fence to the north.



South side of our house.



This is our South fence. It looks like a tornado went through here because of the 'path.'



Here is our other next door neighbor's tree down now.




This house is on the corner of our street. I had a neighbor come to check on us and we were talking to him when we heard the roof section coming off.




On the left side of the road you can see the three trees down. This is taken on the corner of our street looking south.



This was my cute pink bear weathering the cold house.










We went to my mom's house later that night, since we still didn't have heat. It came on sometime in the night I heard.




I took these pictures the next day of my mom's Blue Spruce that had fallen.







Right after I took these pictures people from the ward came and chopped up the tree and hauled the branches off. Jaxson had a great time watching. Here is with uncle Clark.


We were worried about how we were going to get rid of the tree stump and the next day two guys came from the ward and removed it. My mom was so relieved.
