Mother Nature is Speaking!

Last night around supper time, there was a major storm through our area. WOW... what a mess. We were very fortunate in that our Home was spared any damage, and the best part is that no one was hurt during the storm. There is still no power at the house, and a lot of wood still lying on homes. I figured in our 2 block area there was at least 25 homes with trees through their roofs... yikes... Here are some pics....

This house is right across the road from us, and was also flooded this spring when the sump pump failed... no luck at all... :-(

This home is also across the road from us, and she was home when the tree hit. It is cleared off the roof in this pic, however she told me it came through the roof and right into her living room last night, she freaked out big time.... major hole in this roof.

This home is 1 block away, and had a bunch of tree around it, they all come down but none hit the house, they must live right...This home took a major double blow. One tree cleaned the carport right off, and then the second tree came down right through the roof... 1 block away from our home....

This is a beautiful home down on the corner of Bethune and our street. this tree when right trough the roof and destroyed the upper story of the home. They had about 5 major trees come down on thier property alone. This home is also for sale, and has been for a while, and probably wil be for quite a while now....

This poor guy had a tree his this shed, and it simply exploded into pieces.... unbelievable...

This home was hit real bad, and is located down on the main street of town.All in all, not a good day for Gravenhurst. Still lots of power out. Hundred of thousands of $$$$$ damage. You know it is bad, as Tim Hortons is not even open yet....

Did receive some good news tonight, as Shawn called, and told us he is actively trying to line up a fellowship with Toronto Sick Kids Hospital, for after he completes his residency in Johnson City, Tn. This fellowship would prepare him to be a "Neonatologist" (spelling???? medical terms kill me....) Good luck Shawn....

Well this is enough for tonight.... gotta go....
