Last night we watch helplessly as 70 mile an hour winds tore through our yard.
We lost one of my two favorite trees... the one right next to our new patio that I build a beautiful fern and hosta flower bed around just last month.
We also had 7 other trees with major damage....
This large branch was still attached to the tree, way out of our reach so we have not determined if the new shed is damaged yet. We are waiting on our arborist come out to remove the broken branches.
Another large limb broke part of our fence, but it missed the neighbors garage. Again, this is still attached too high for us.
The storm also blew off a large section of shingles from our roof. We are waiting on the roofers to assess the damage.
Before starting the cleanup process, all family members had to have a little fun... including the dogs.
This is one of the few times the puppies can "climb" a tree and enjoy it they did!
Hunter did try to climb up after Logan once, but without those opposable thumbs it's tough to do!
Don't worry, Mom. I made sure the remaining tree was solid before letting your grandchildren climb out.
Okay, fun's over... let the clean up begin.
Oh my gosh, that looks like a lot of work to clean up! So sorry you lost one of your favorite trees, but I'm glad it didn't fall the other way. :) Looks like fun climbing up that tree!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sherry - I'm really glad it didn't fall onto your house! Of course the munchkins have to play - I wonder if they'd like to play on the tree that came down in our yard. It's full of bees which makes it hard for Phil to get in to clean it up. Do you think that Logan and Amanda would like to get in there and get the honey for me??
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those huge branches did some damage to your roof. I hope it was just minor and can be fixed easily. I am also hoping that the roof was in good condition before the destructive storm came. Anyway, this is the importance of giving your roof regular maintenance. It maintains its quality and longevity, so that your safety is ensured in the face of bad weather.

Seeing the branches of trees scattered around is enough proof of how terrifying that storm damage was. At least, it was just your shingles that got out of place and not your entire roofing system. Hope you'd recover fast from that storm damage.
