We were hit pretty hard Friday late afternoon with straight line winds. (We don't think it was a tornado, and the news stations haven't said anything of a tornado). We lost 6 trees on our little property, and the backdoor neighbors lost perhaps 20 to 25.
The willow tree in the front yard fell down. The flood did not flush it away for us, though.
A big branch hit our transformer. It didn't explode (I think), but all the oil leaked out and it had to be replaced.
Big branches fell down and blocked the neighbor's driveways, again.
Our small apple tree eventually yielded and laid down, too.
We lost the top of this nice spruce tree.
We quickly carved a path through the trees blocking the driveways.
A locust tree fell, too.
The neighbors had tremendous damage. This is the little bridge over the creek with 3 big trees blocking the way.
More of the neighbor's trees. I think there are about 8 down in this bunch.
And more neighbors on down the road. What a mess!
We're going to bed pretty tired tonight.
