The storm that caused this damage started the evening of Thursday, Dec. 14th. Our power went out at 12:45 am on Friday, Dec. 15th and was out until 6:45 pm Thursday, Dec. 21st (almost 7 days). Wind speeds during the storm ranged from 40 to 100 mph. We had 4 trees come down in our backyard, all of them missing our house or any other structure. Two of the trees scraped the west side of another tree, de-limbing it. We heard all the cracking and the thuds. Needless to say, it was a very restless night! We feel very blessed that our house was not hit; it truly was an answer to prayers! (Some pictures are blurry, but you can still get the idea of the damage.) (click image to enlarge)
Our neighbor had a tree break in half. The part that broke off
landed on the power line in the middle of our cul-de-sac. (We eventually took the top, which
made a perfect Christmas tree, and put it up in the middle of the cul-de-sac and
decorated it.)
