    Just a few pictures... but pictures don't always show the true damage. The wind hit 80-85 mph in this region... by far the longest and hardest I can ever remember being in...

    First thing this morning...

    At least it wasn't major damage! Every time we have a storm there is a metal shed in the road somewhere... This may sound stupid but I always feel extra bad for whoever owned that:whistle:

    That shot of the road says a lot.

    Glad your OK! Hopefully there are no major injuries...

    Its possible, but I think it was just strong straight line winds... coming out of the south west direction...

    Glad you got through that with only minimal damage Kevin. Those storms can really get nasty.

    I guess some peoples idea of a bad day isn't that bad compared to this. So thankful no one was hurt.

    Out of the spoils, comes a bit of light... I did manage to get a bit of wood. Will still get a bit more as I find it... and I finally got to use my new tools that walt so graciously allowed me to get hooked on these while at Backwoods Savage GTG last April...

    Ah yes, you will love those log tongs. It's also amazing that a year ago I got walt hooked and many others too have become hooked. Some have come up with other brands that also look good.
