Monday morning we had a whopperdoozer of a storm hit the Q.C. area. Bad enough where tree limbs, trees, and related items cluttering neighborhoods. Some people have had no power for a couple days and it may be another day for some. My family still has no power as we speak but possibly later today. Trees are like knots in power lines. We slept at our hot and powerless home Monday night but last night my in-laws (God love them) allowed us to use their place as they used their starship Enterprise like RV at a nearby campground. An 9 hour sleep later and a good shower, I have a chance to handle what comes up today.
The winds got up to 100 MPH. Some say it was a tornado, the TV meterologists say not. I was at work but my wife say part of a tree go right by the bedroom window luckily it did not go in the window, could have been fatal. I thank the good lord we are alright and our only actual damage was a tree in back but that is the landlord's problem. Just messy that a good raking and a lawnmowing cannot take care of. My neighbors, that is another story. One has a above ground pool totalled and a branch spearing into their kitchen. Another had this huge pine tree cut in half. The corner of their house was shot. They are this elderly couple who could easily find another place or have family, but yet they insist on being home. More power to them I guess.
Onward we all go...
