This happened during breakfast. BOOM!
Poor arbor.
Poor porch!
Dogs must walk.
This is the river. It doesn't usually have WAVES!
Bracing against the wind.
She's a crazy woman.
Our neighbor's ancient oak.

*** addendum- 7:10 pm - The rest of the neighbor's ancient oak just fell. It went all the way across the street, taking power lines and blowing a series of transformers. Within seconds, literally seconds, at least thirty people from our neighborhood there. Zoom! Whippet speed. Checking to see if everyone was all right. They are. Everyone is fine. Half of the houses are without power, but everyone is safe. After my walk this morning, the wind persisted, and there is now much more damage. HUGE old trees down everywhere. Some houses squished. Some cars squished. Lots of broken windows. I haven't heard the actual wind velocity yet. Makes me feel very small, and very fortunate.

Oh My Goodness....We spent time helping muzzer tie things up and down because we were supposed to get that kind of wind! But we have had a non-event. Teka says to tell you that Swede William can come here until things are OK at home.

These storms are so unpredictable. No one was hurt, we hope. We like breezes -- but strong winds are another thing altogether.
ReplyDeleteWhen we think that Ike almost came here, we breathe a deep sigh of gratitude -- but then, feel so awful for those where it actually went.

Swede William definitely looks concerned!
ReplyDeleteWow! You guys got more than we did. I was prepared for something with wind a fury...we got a nice, occasionally blustery storm with 3.5 inches of rain....but nothing more.
ReplyDeletePoor trees!
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone is ok!

Michael and Xan were telling all about how Xan saw a huge flash of blue out the kitchen window and then a crack and THEN the shower of fireworks streaming over our van. Quite the story and quite the pictures you have.
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to salvage the arbor!
And get those dogs inside...they look worried.
