In an instant...

-a peaceful night with slight breeze turned to 60 MPH gusts with vicious hail.




-the patio set was thrown all over the yard, including the grill.


-the pretty backyard turned into this desolate mess. (Notice the neighbor's trampoline.)
-a young house aged with the help of mother nature.


The good news is that the problems here are only cosmetic and all these things can be replaced. It is unbelievable to see all of the old trees in the neighborhood that have been taken down with this amazing microburst. For all the work we did in the yard this year, I'm sad to say that we didn't take any pictures. Even last night as we were watering I showed Jeremy the hollyhock blooms and dahlia blooms we had, too bad I didn't snatch the camera. Again, all these things can be replaced and next summer this will only be a distant memory.
