What a crazy storm!!!

Last night was an interesting night. First, we came home from Bev and Arnel's wedding, and all the power was out in our community. It was out all night and finally back up early morning. Because the streets were pitch black out, some thieves took the opportunity to break into some cars... mine included. =(

Then we checked out our other house, which is only a few blocks away. The crazy storm really did a number on the big, old, beautiful trees surrounding the house!

Here's half of a tree, broken down and fallen onto our house.

Fortunately, it did minimal damage. Eaves are damaged, but nothing else broken. Lucky!!

Our house is behind there somewhere....

There are two gorgeous trees that shade our house and our neighbour's house. Both fell victim to the storm and it doesn't look like they can be salvaged. The roots are pulled right out of the ground... taking the sidewalk with it too. This poor tree fell on my neighbour's van.

The other tree fell onto my neighbour's garage and is leaning up against it.

The path down the side of our house now leads to a dead end! LOL

I'm hoping that all of you were safe and well through the storm and didn't suffer any damages.

Wow, that's crazy Lloyd. Lucky there wasn't more damage.
At my house, the downspouts got blown off but that was the extent of the damage.
