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.

Welcome to Hurricane type weather. LOL We had similar weather back in
September, we had those winds for about 12 hours, I was glad to have known
it was coming and to have slept through most of it. We were with out
electricity for 11 days and 8 hours. It does get pretty irritating after
about 3 days, no? Aside from not being able to take a warm shower is
having to use flash lights and candles after sunset. Especially irritating
was hearing A/C units running at night and seeing porch lights across the
street 5 days after the storm when all power lines in our neighborhood are
underground.





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.

Be sure to show the insurance adjuster all of those damaged trees.
