Micro Burst hits Home



When we got home from our day trip the kids and I went outside to let the dogs in the house and to survey the storm damage. In the dark the first thing we noticed was hmmmm no trampoline and all the patio furniture is blown around and laying on the ground. While Mark was still putting away the Rhino I continued walking around the yard to see what else was wrong or damaged. Bryce told me that the tree was leaning against the house so I wandered over to take a look and found some things on the ground that looked like wood. Turns out they were roof tiles. So I ran to get Mark. We did the best we could in the dark to assess the damage then we went inside to make sure there was no water damage due to the missing tiles. Mark used the Rhino to finish uprooting the tree so that it would not do damage to the house should we have another storm. There really was no saving it anyway. I was sooooo sad :(
In the morning I got up and took pictures for us and for the insurance claim if we end up filing one. Then we took the Rhino out behind the house to find the Trampoline so we can bring it home and take it apart.
