So, wanna see what my day was like??  

This is one of 6!



Rain, wind, trees falling, power out, cable out all evening (that means NO INTERNET!!!)...it just came back on.

If I didn't know where I was, I'd have thought I'd woken up back on the Oregon coast!

Here, have another!

Big storm. First one of the year, and it was a mess!

Yikes! Glad you're OK.

We had something like that happen here a few years back. It's surreal to walk around a neighborhood after an event like that and see the destruction.

O.o

We haven't gotten the rain down here but it's supposed to get here by the weekend.

Shit! I really hope it doesn't hit as hard down here or that it holds off until the workmen finish fixing my dang roof and the leaking skylight. Shit! Shit! Shit!

When I saw your first picture, I thought "what a nice row of greenery along the fence". It wasn't until I really looked at the picture did I realize that it was a broken tree!

Was this on your property?

What amazes me is that our storms are fairly mild compared to other parts of the country, and we still get trees snapping in two and crushing things!
