What a storm!

We had quite a storm last night!! I was at work, which is about 45 minutes away, so I didn't realize it had gotten as bad as it did at home. I only worked a half-shift, so when I got off at around 12:30 a.m. I had a message from both Michael and my dad on my phone. Michael had called me right after the storm came through to tell me what all damage had happened, and my dad called just a few minutes after him to make sure we were all right. Anyway, as you can see in the pictures, our fence was broken in a few places. Also, our gas grill was knocked over (that thing is REALLY heavy...I went out this morning and tried to pick it up, and couldn't!!) Also, our trampline tumbled about 40 yards, somehow making it's way around a huge tree and a swingset, and went over our 6 foot privacy fence, landing between our house and our neighbor's house! CRAZY! The power was out for about 6 hours....it came back on about 2:00 a.m. So, that was fun to wake up to in the middle of the night, after I had just gotten to sleep....lights, TV, our alarm system making siren noises....glad the boys somehow slept through it! Anyway, I'm just glad and thankful Michael and the boys are okay....it could have been much, much worse!!
