Mother Nature's Wrath

Sunday, June 6, 2010

Like the rest of the country, we've been experiencing weather extremes. This spring, it's been an exorbitant amount of thunderstorms with the accompanying buckets of rain.

This morning around 4AM, I was awoken yet again. Not by the rain, but by Bernie, who was frantically trying to get on the bed and hide under the covers because she heard a distant rumble of thunder.

Within 15 minutes, it was a full fledged storm. I always worry because I have so many huge trees in my yard and the largest sits right next to my garage. I cautiously peeked out this morning and held my breath for a minute until I was sure all my trees were still standing.

No such luck with the Griswold's down the road. Remember them? The family with the over the top Halloween and Christmas decorations?





Here's their front yard today.



I found the family sitting across the street in lawn chairs watching the remainder of their tree come down. Thank goodness that no one was hurt but the 3 vehicles in their driveway weren't so lucky.

This is 5 hours after the the tree company started the cleanup so you can imagine what it looked like when it first happened.








Mr. Tree Guy,

Please put your shirt on. This sight is more frightening than the damage the tree did

  6. Don't these guys get it? Don't they? Even at the beach that dude would be crossing the line of visual decency... NOBODY should be subject to that. And up there in the cherry picker for everybody to see? Haaaa. Then again, yeah I agree with Simply Suthern, that tee is a grand idea!
