I've never seen anything like this. The wind was ferocious. Scary. It caught my grill cover and used it as a sail to catapult my gas grill from the deck into the driveway. Where it landed upside down. It's pretty demolished. But still.... I was lucky. Other than some big limbs down in the yard, a couple ripped screens, and a few lost roof shingles I fared pretty well.
Can't say the same for my neighbor. They live 2 doors down. This huge tree landed right on their pick-up truck. It's totaled. And see the big chunk missing from their house. Yeah... that sucks.
Right around the corner a tree fell blocking the road. Can you see the car underneath? It's there. Not sure why some of these pics will let you blow them up but others won't. I haven't figured out that secret yet. Anyone know? I swiped these bottom two (that won't enlarge) off my sister's blog. Maybe that's why?
Anyway back to the subject at hand..... clean up is still underway. They hope to have power restored completely by Wednesday if not sooner. Off to catch up on blogs....

Glad you're back in the swing.
That was certainly a lousy blow job. Other than it murdering a big tree, I did okay too.
Yep, the 'no enlarge' thing should be only the pics you don't directly have on your computer.
I know it's really not funny...but why am I giggling? It must be the Ohio thing! That's just crazy!
See why I bribed the tree guy to take down my big trees!?!
Wow - that was nasty stuff girl. Glad everything is ok.

Ack! Glad there are no holes in your roof -- you have such a cute house (pink walls and all), I'd hate to think of the water damage.
I'm glad you made it through relatively well. What a mess!
