Microburst



Saturday night our neighborhood was hit by a microburst. We were lucky that our house had no damage, but others in our area weren't so lucky. There are a lot of trees down, but no reports of any injuries. They estimated that we were hit by 80+ mile-per-hour winds during the storm. I would say they were right - it was brutal!

The bottom photo is our backyard after 6 hours of work... not much accomplished. We got the large limbs cut down, but there is a coat of small limbs, leaves and debris all over the yard. I would say we still have another 12 hours to go! Ack!
