Picking Up After The Storm




About a week and a half ago we had straight line winds of 70+ mph and tornadoes roll through our area.

Coyote Ridge was spared the tornadoes, but caught the brunt of the winds.
Sue captured a few pictures for you after things calmed down a bit.





We were very lucky that only one large tree came down in the yard and only four or five in our woods.
The rest of the cleanup was mostly branches, limbs and leaves.





Since I work for the American Red Cross, I was busy helping with relief efforts while Sue our son Ben and his wife Anna were responsible for Coyote Ridge cleanup.
By the time I got home, everything was cleaned up with the homestead looking fabulous. Great timing Bob!

It certainly looks devastating, and I'm glad you didn't get anything worse.

From the looks of it you were lucky, the tree we lost was about four time as much stuff to cut and get rid of or stacked. Mom & I did the brunt of it since my son was working. Hope you have better weather, Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
