Stormy Day!

 Good morning,

First let me say no one was hurt.  We are all safe.  Catherine's car on the other hand....

 The video above was captured by one of our security cameras.  That's the top of a large tree from back in the corner of our property falling onto Catherine's car.  The insurance company wants to total her car, but we hope that won't be necessary.

The tree took out Catherine's windshield and the driver's side mirror.  The hood is extensively damaged.

From what we can tell so far, though, is that mechanics of the car are OK. 

Our car is parked just beyond Catherine's and had no damage at all.

Here you see the clean up has begun.

Our friend, Bill, came over with his chair saw and with Catherine removed most of the tree around the car and enough of the yard so that we can walk across it.  

We will have plenty of firewood this winter.

The rest of the tree, however, is still across most of the back yard property.  We aren't quite sure if this was caused by high wind or lightning.  We believe it to be high wind.

And, so, the cleanup begins....
