May 8th Storm

We had a big storm come through on May 8. There were 90-100 mph winds. Columbus was out of school for about 2-3 days because the damage was so bad. Our house recieved about $7,000 in damages, including the trampoline as you can see. The insurance adjustor finally came about 3 weeks after. So now, we have a check to fix the house, but can't seem to find time to do it. Maybe next week. Izabell kept looking at the trampoline in the tree and saying, "Oh, it's not broken. I can still use it." LOL, but when we got it off the tree, it just all crumbled apart. Hopefully we will be getting her a new one soon and this time we will anchor it down with something.
Part of the damage to our roof. There was more on the other side, but this was the worst. The adjustor said it looked like someone had taken a crow bar up there and just started ripping shingles off in all different places. Well, at least we get a whole new roof now.

Thanks to my brother and Jena we got the yard cleaned up in about four hours from all the trees and limbs that had fallen. This picture isn't near the amount we had. We are still getting branches falling down from this last storm when we get high winds now. I guess there are a bunch left in the tops that we can't get right now.

Jerry taking a ride on the truck to our burn pile. I think we had to take about 5 trips or more. It was nice using Heath's big truck. Otherwise, it probably would have taken us alot longer than 4 hours.
