More Storms

6.02.2008 • in the evening

Our area was hit with more storms over the weekend.  We live in Virginia so it’s not like we are in tornado alley....however we sure have had some nasty storms.  A few weeks ago a tornado did blow through (within a few miles from my house). 

Yesterday’s storm is being called a ”microburst”. Nonetheless, it knocked out our power for over 6 hours last night and did a lot of damage to our area.  Thankfully I’m married to an electrician, so we had power (thank you generator).  Our neighbors were jealous wink

Some photos of damage:

Do you see how big that tree is??  And that is a block of sidewalk pulled up like it was cardboard. 

Back to work for me...we’re swamped with calls!

Wow, that’s some scary stuff.  I’ve seen trees uprooted before, but not that big.
