The canvas roof to our play structure was shredded. Also, you can see the fence to the left about ready to fall (which it did -- taking out the apple tree)
The side fence couldn't take any more wind.We are experiencing a fierce storm, one with winds going @ 60mph+. Our poor lemon tree is struggling, and two of our fences are down for the count. It was quite a sight this morning! There are 3 panels down from the side fence, and 3 panels down on the other side, facing the street. Since our house is on a corner, we're taking the brunt of the wind because there's not another house there shielding some of the wind. Our pear tree is a goner. G put on some shoes and checked out the damage to our fences. Our boys are so sad about the trampoline breaking. It took a beating in the wind. It sure got a lot of use in the last year. Anyway, it reminded me of some friends of ours who, during a severe storm in their area, had their neighbor's trampoline land on their car! Glad THAT didn't happen! I promptly cancelled T's dentist appointment. It would have required us to drive in this vicious storm about 25 minutes each way. No way. I didn't have pay a cancellation fee because they figured that the weather is a factor no one can control. I would have paid it anyway because I was in no way risking our safety. So, I guess this is another day @ home. I'll dig out the hot cocoa again. G said that he knows what the next few days hold for him: trips to Lowe's and fixing the fences. Oh, and probably taking the trampoline to the dump. Darn!
