The aftermath
Well it has been a rough 3 days and man i am so tired. We had some of the most violent T-storms blow through on sunday and monday and the cleanup has been a real nightmare. i had 8 large trees blow down covering my driveway and lot 1/2 the gravel road, my pond ws overflowing first time ever. Others got hit worse but man i would never wish this **** on no person ever.
It all started sunday afternoon i finished changing rotors a pads on the truck, showered then sat on the porch and cracked opened a molson Canadian andal of sudden all hell breaks loose. wind rain hail tornado with a wind gust on my weather station of 117 mph and then more rain/wind damage, propane tanks floating down the street along with grills,tables, chairs cars you name it. Pipes for drainage blown right out from under the blacktop roads. This will take time to clean up but we will get it done. Any body need firewood???. Like i said; man i'm tired.

Glad it was only trees down and not damage to the house for you.
Did you lose power and/or still out. Twice I have lost power from those types of storms for 4 days each. That means no A/C/heat, water (well), and lose everything in the fridge.

I hope you can get it all together in the aftermath. I have that trouble too.
Last August we had some real bad storms on August 4th. Knocked down trees, sent garbage cans sailing a quarter mile away. The homes across the street had no power for four days afterward. Lucky for us we had power and our clean up was minimal. I have had trees come down or big branches bust off on my property almost every year that I have lived here.
Last year the power company people mentioned something about the back trees always loosing a limb and knocking our house power out. I pointed up and said you don't have to worry anymore--all of the branches that could land on the wires have done so. The power people came back and had hired a contractor to trim all the trees (ours and the neighbors) in the back. Now the lines are clear. Also had some big tree parts land on the house too, causing a lot of damage.
Good luck.
