62°f/16.7°C, heavy, violent storms this morning. Still cloudy and looking like rain.
We were still in bed when the storm hit, and boy was it a doozy. Larry jumped up to close the window, and thrn we heard it---the unmistakable cracking and breaking of a tree.
What a mess! But fortunately only a few boards and my wicker planter and a couple flowerpots were broken.
Then our neighbor Mark, who grew up with our boys, showed up with his chain saw.
And now, it looks like this:
I'd say we were very fortunate! All the brush is piled up and ready to burn sometime later on. We needed to pressure wash the deck anyway, and I think we will only need to buy 3 or 4 boards to replace the broken ones. This wasn't on the to-do list for today, but all in all, it's not too bad.
