Stormy Weather

 

Straight line winds came through with a storm today and took out power for four hours. The winds made such an eerie sound like a woman screaming.  This is the second time this summer we have had storms with straight line winds. We have lots of trees down on our property again.  This one was that fell and blocked the entire driveway.  My hubby is actually using my small battery operated chain saw because he doesn't have gas for his. He has to clear the driveway in order to go get gas maybe tomorrow. 

This branch fell on the roof of my sewing room which used to be a small back porch so it has a flat roof.  Other big branches fell very very close to the window of my sewing room. Strangely none of the pots on the deck railing were blown off. 

This branch didn't exactly fall all the way off but it is still swaying in the wind. 

This tree branch fell near the camper we keep parked in back. I think it fell on to the clothesline  it probably broke the fall a little or it might have fallen on top of or might have gone through the camper.  The branch with a pointy end extends out to the front of the camper which is out of the picture.  

We were lucky and are thankful there were  no serious damages. But there's a lot of clean up work for us to do tomorrow. 

I went and looked briefly in the gardens and thankfully no trees fell into the flower gardens which is what usually happens. But in the veggie garden all the tomatoes and peppers are blown over cages and all and tomatoes are laying everywhere. My husband is heartbroken. Those are the two of the things he starts from seeds saved from previous years and babies along. Maybe when we look at it in a new light tomorrow it won't be as bad as it appears at first glance. 

Tomorrow is supposed to be mostly sunny.
