Mother Nature

Thursday night was a long night for us. I went to walk Kodi around 11, it was raining and starting to ice up. There were a few branches that were in the road but nothing too bad. All night long we heard little pops followed by a big bang. Trees were falling all around us. Neither T or I could sleep and Kodi was going crazy. He was so scared and wouldn't go to sleep. I was finally getting to sleep at 8am when there was a particularly loud bang. This is what was in the yard.

Thankfully we had power. Just about every school around us was closed. We knew it was going to be a slow day and we needed to check on some of our bank owned properties we have listed so out we went. This is just a little of what we found.

These pictures don't even do it justice. There were SO many tree branches down. Some roads weren't even passable. There were power lines down everywhere. Most of our town didn't have power. One of our neighbors had a tree fall on his truck and totaled it and another neighbor's shed was destroyed. But with all the fallen tree limbs it didn't look like many houses had damage. There were some cars that were hit but not too many. None of the houses we have listed had any damage. Our power did go out for about 2 1/2 hours on Friday. My parents still don't have power and they might not until at least Tuesday. I talked to them today. They didn't have any pipes burst and are now staying with friends. Luckily tomorrow it is going to be in the 50's.

You can really see all the ice on the trees in this picture. It was really pretty.
