A storm blew through this afternoon.
We were out and about and had to wait it out to come home.
There was a lot of rain but we saw first hand how damaging the winds were.
On our way home we encountered a tree across the road
for which we had to turn around and take another route,
uprooted trees, tree limbs all over yards and roads,
and traffic lights that were not working.
Upon arriving home we found that we had no power.
Limbs from far away trees were strewn all over our front and back yards.
Our own trees fared pretty well with just a few small limbs down
with the exception of this hawthorn
which lost close to a third of its fullness in the break it suffered.
We'll start clean up tomorrow after the rain is done
and the puddles have receded a bit.
