Wow. Did anyone else experience power outages or wind damage from the other night? We woke up around 2:00am the night of the storm to the sound of some major rushing wind and rain. Thinking it might be a tornado, we bolted for the basement. Then the power went off. We went upstairs when we heard things going back to somewhat normal and were shocked to see what happened to our backyard. Our privacy fence was flattened, and one of our trees that had a sort of double trunk was split totally in half. Branches from our other tree were also split off. We usually like thunder/lightning storms, but this was ridiculous.
The next morning we woke up, and looked out in front of our house. We were shocked again to find half of our block covered with fallen trees and branches. It was kind of weird, we don't really know our neighbors, but everyone came out of their houses to see the damage. We talked to people we didn't even they moved in a year ago. What planet were we on??
We got power about 4:00pm yesterday (Friday). Phil (my husband) was actually glad the way things were busted, he's been wanting to take down the fence for a long time. ;D
Anyway, here are some pictures. We were glad we only had the damage that we had. We saw other houses in our area that didn't fare so well. Please reply and tell if anything happened to you.
