Had a bad storm come through. We received a warning on our phones which in most cases nothing happens. Well this time it was real.

I went outside and looked around from my front porch just in time, I saw the funnel it was close. I ran into the house and got my wife out of her wheel chair and dragged her down into the basement. She was not sure what was happening. I heard the noise and waited for the house to get hit but it didnt. I heard lots of noise and rattling then it passed in a few minutes. It touched down about 40 yards from our front porch with about a 100 yard or so swath wide in our lower yard just across our driveway.

I looked out the window and all I could see was trees lying everywhere. 100 ft cherry trees blown down with the root balls up in the air 15 -18 ft/ What a mess. Spent most of the day cleaning up branches, sticks, bark and other debris. Thankfully it missed our shop and house. Called a buddy that does tree removal he stopped in to give me an estimate. He said I was very lucky. Others nearby weren't so fortunante.

Glad God was watching over you,
Stay safe Bob.Good to hire out the tree cleanup.
I hate cutting big trees when the rootball is big and out the ground.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Thank goodness you and your family are safe Mr. Jameson.
It sounds like you are lucky to have a roof over your head today.

We just had one go six miles north of the house. I don't know what direction it came from, but was in town six miles away.

Sure am glad you and your wife are ok. That's the main thing. If I remember right that's the second time God looked out for you.
