We had several terrible wind storms this year but we had one in November that did some damage! It was SO scary! It felt like the Wizard of Oz! I thought the whole house was gonna blow away!! Baylor was playing in the playroom and he watched this gigantic tree fall right outside the playroom window. He was yelling 'Mom a tree fell down!' Several trees had already fallen so I figured that's what he meant but nope... this huge tree in front of the house! We had scheduled to cut it down the following week... but Mother nature took care of that for us! Fortunately there was not much damage. The tree fell on the front of our Sequoia but there wasn't even a scratch! Unfortunately our white railing was toast! That night we were so scared we hurried and packed our bags and stayed at Lori and Verne's house. Since then, when Baylor sees a tree that has fallen he says, 'I bet they needed to stay at their Grandma and Grandpa's house!' This storm was so crazy there were fallen trees and blown down fences EVERYWHERE! I've never seen anything like it!
Verne and Lori came over to help clean up.
There were fallen tree out of every window! We lost a total of 7 trees... and our neighbor lost a huge one that fell over and smashed our chain link fence. Our forest has 4 horizontal trees in in.
During the storm the vent to our oven was flapping and making a noise. Bentley named this noise 'Freaky guy' every time the wind would make a flap he would yell 'NO FREAKY GUY!' Then he would apologize to freaky guy. 'Sorry Freaky Guy, sorry freaky guy.' Then he started kissing freaky guy (the air) and saying 'hugs freaky guy!' It was so entertaining!!
