::70 mph winds last night. this is what we woke up to today.
so thankful we are all ok. two of our neighbors had trees fall on their house.

God provided for us in amazing ways today. we had family come with a chainsaw, several people asked if we needed help, we met some neighbors, a friend that just moved offered an empty frig./freezer for us to put our food in (power was out all day), and we were able to give firewood to some friends that needed it.

Wendy, I am so sorry to hear this but I am glad that the storm allowed you to meet neighbors. That is some kind of wind to do that to your trees!

so glad you are all okay and that God through this provided some neat opportunities. We had similar winds the other day that blew our basketball hoop down right where my van would have been had I not pulled it into the garage (something I never do...) He is faithful!

Glad the trees didn't fall on your new house. Too bad about your neighbor's houses.
