Over the past weekend a large part of the country was devastated by a series of storms. They were fast, strong and damaging. We have 20 minutes of incredible winds and little rain. If you look at the tree in the center of the photo above, when the winds were somewhat calm, and then the photo below of the tree bending to the winds you get an idea of how strong the storm was.
We had a bit of damage but nothing like some people had. We had a large part of a maple tree come crashing down onto the barn. No damage to the barn but it did take me a few hours to cut it up and get it off the roof. The hardest part was getting so that the trunk didn't crash through the roof as I started cutting off the limbs.The second hardest part was realizing I wasn't 28 years old any more!
