The eighth of May was a windy day in the area (100 mph for a hour or
so). The imposed a lack of electricity which lasted 7 days and 6
hours. I was home all alone, wandering back and forth in the house
amazed (no fear other than do not let anything hit the house). We have
lost about 12 trees most were going to removed at our leisure. One of
the trees is a white pine it lay across the turn into the garage, it
is about 30 inches across at the base and 26 inches 10 foot up. So we
lost 2 trees we wanted to keep, a sawyer will be by to turn the white
pine into boards to be dried and used.

It was very nice to take a hot shower last night.

Minor gutter damage is all the house suffered.
So who wants free firewood (bring your own chainsaw)?
It is Jackson county area.

Markem,

Have you had a chance to see some of the radar images from that day?
It's amazing. The storm that hit is being called an inland hurricane.

If you're interested, take a look at this website, and scroll down until
you see Radar Archive on the right side. Select May 8, 2009 and click
"View Archived Radar Loop" and wait.

One of my friends called today and told me about the storm. The whole
area is in rough shape, but they're ok as is their house.
