Microburst


Yeah, have you ever heard of a microburst? Well, we just had our second one of the year yesterday evening. Although the damage in our yard was minimal (see below) the damage around town was fairly significant.
our corn now leans a little bit

There were branches down all over, upturned garbage cans, our neighbors' trampoline was upside down...the power went out for over 2 hours. There was an entire electric pole that blew over. Up the street, at our friend's house and entire pine tree....a REALLY big one, blew right over, uprooting it from the ground.

It was a crazy little storm! But since our power was out, we got to hang out with our neighbors/friends and had some pizza. We love to have an excuse to NOT COOK and to hang out with friends!
