A Pre-Summer Storm

Back on June 13th a severe pre-summer thunderstorm came racing through our town. Lots of trees came down and we were without power for 26 hours. The storm winds pushed over our neighbor's Poplar tree and it crashed down across our driveway, just missing the back bumper of the Dodge as did part of one of our Sugar Maple trees.

It was a rather tall tree and until it was cleared the trucks and my Honda were all blocked in the driveway.

Neighbors came to help clean up the mess because Mike was in the hospital and they piled the branches on one side of the driveway so I could at least get in and out with the Dodge.

A large tree has a large stump,,,,,

The split rail fence got mangled in a few spots, here,,,,

And here.

We are blessed to have wonderful neighbors. When I got home from visiting Mike in the hospital the day after the storm, the wood had been cut into burnable lengths.

And the yard completely cleaned up, even the fence was re-stacked. Our neighbors rock!
