Noises in the Night

KA-BOOOM!

What was that?!?

• check the kids
• hear the tornado sirens
• turn on tv
• see that it's high winds warning
• big time thunder & down pour rain & lightning
• husband goes downstairs to shut down computer
• husband comes back and says that wasn't thunder that woke us up..........it was the neighbor's tree!
• check out damage
• not too bad, go back to bed
• hear the tornado sirens
• take kids to basement
• in the clear
• All 6 in the bed for the rest of the night
• hear the tornado sirens again!
• only 40-50 mph winds this time, can't do anymore damage than what we have
• uncomfortable sleep with 6 in the bed

This is what we see out our kitchen window now, kinda looks like a rain-forest.
Gutter, siding, soffit damages.....can't see the roof yet

Would anyone like to grill out at our house today?

Sorry, the neighbor's Sycamore tree crushed it!

C-man has Wii-points floating in his head!

pick up sticks = 20 min. of Wii

If he helps out with this, he's got Wii covered for a year!

This is what our backyard look likes now.

The top of the neighbor's Sycamore tree crashed into

our Locus tree. We are very fortunate that the heavy trunk

of the tree landed in our yard and grill. It was some heavy branches that

landed on our house.

No broken windows! I'm truly amazed by that.

We are all okay, "Glory to God!" says C-man re: this.

Just a big, big mess to clean up

and phone calls to our insurance.......

Hmmmm........if it was just a little bit more damage to the house, I could

have had myself a new kitchen!!!

Owell! and I hope there won't be a next time.

New invitation to those with chainsaws, come on over and cut some wood!
