The wind is gusting at 60 mph and is expected to last into early tomorrow morning.
We have fence down, but that is nothing in the big picture. One of our neighbors has lost half of his roof - and his house is brand new!
My brother is without power and has been told he will be for DAYS.

Above: This is what my view of oak trees looked like yesterday morning.
Above: This is what it looked like at 3 p.m. Note the new addition of cedar where there used to be only grass...
Above: My little well house that covers my well pump has been blown over.

I've never seen wind like that either. It sounded like my roof was blowing off. We lost some pretty big branches and I'm glad we cut that huge dead oak down or it would have probably been on my house. We lost cable and internet for about 24 hours but and sporadic loss of electricity. How's the fires doing up there?
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how Blackberry Ridge fared through all this. Am waiting anxiously for a report...
