HOLY COW - WE JUST HAD A TORNADO!!

It wasn't a big one, but it did do the following damage.



If you look at this picture - we just took this picture last week when I had family here and you can see the horse barn just behind all of us ......






And this is that same spot now.....WHERE IS THE BARN?!?!






Well and you can see that the tramp is no longer in the yard. IT IS IN THE TREE


This 4 x 4 was part of our barn. It was in the tree and the weight of all the barn items has brought down several branches in the tree - we even found a hammer thrown into the tree. (Cole thought that was sooooo cool) - Glad it wasn't thrown threw one of the windows.







Part of our pool supplies were just thrown everywhere - this was the bucket we had all the pool toys in - There are no more toys.....



Shingles from the house and thousands of branches




We filled this whole 35 lb bucket full of shingles from the house



Found the GATE! - and part of the barn - The neighbor has most of it in his yard.



This is what the metal looks like....




This is what the patio looked like - Several of our chairs were in the neighbors yard as well.




So...the clean up begins. We have to wait until Bob gets home to pick up the big things. Like the branches - the big fridge outside that is upside down - and the tramp that is up in the tree...
Just glad everyone was okay. The rest will come with time.
We have several people just out of the blue stopping and taking pictures of our place - We even had an older gentleman stop and come to the house to see if our family was okay because he was driving by and saw the damage and thought for sure we were all hurt.
And there you have it....

Holy Cannoli!

(but I have to admit that I miss the good weather that the midwest brings! I have seen my fair share of tornadoes!)

Hey Trenna,
I was googleing the Giguiere name and it brought up a link to your blog!!! This is so cool. Would you mind if I put a link to it on the Giguiere Family Newsletter blog?? Please let me know asap.
I didn't know that Cole was baptized this month. Would it be ok if I used some of your pics on here for the newsletter??
Hope to hear from you soon.
Glad you guys are ok after the tornado.
Love,
Your Cousin Becky
