The Storm - The Next Day.

Last night, my mom came home from her trip to Ohio and we stayed over a friend’s house.  Today, we contacted insurance for the house and the cars.  My sister help drive us around to take care of what needed to be done. We stop by the house for my family hadn’t seen the damage yet.  The fire department help accompany us into the house since I was told last night that no one was allowed to enter.

Inside our house. The Living Room in devastation.

 

We were able to pack up some clothes and some items to take with us.  The insurance company had made arrangements for us to stay in a hotel which allowed dogs.  Who knows how long we’ll be staying here.

Try to find my car.

The Backyard.

The Frontyard.

On Sunday, July 2, 2006, a tree fell through the roof of my house while the dog and I were in it! We were upstairs watching TV and suddenly there was a huge storm. This huge storm was called a "wind burst" by the TV meteorologists after the fact.

As you can see from the photos I posted, a tree from our backyard was uprooted, picked up, moved, and then fell from the backyard to the front yard. The damage included: the back porch, kitchen, dining room, living room, front porch, 2 cars in the driveway and electrical wires down.

The fire department came and escorted the dog and I out of the house. Thank God nobody was hurt!
