Home!!

We were finally allowed home on Sunday, we'd tried to return on Saturday, but the police had the town blocked off as they checked for downed trees and electrical wires.  Sunday when they let us in the drive here was scary, many trees on the road.  But we got here and held our breath.  The first house on our block had a tree laying across its yard and laying on their roof.  As we drove up to ours there were trees down everywhere.  Huge trees from our neighbor's yard had fallen on our yard and some how missed our house.  We had one tree laying against our roof.  Inside there were no broken windows.  Out back there were more downed trees and some leaning so badly they'll have to come down.  One is on our deck and pool, just missed the house and propane tank.  The pictures we took don't really show the size of the trees, most were 60-70 footers.  Had they landed on the house is would have been destructive. We are so lucky!!!  Some of our neighbors have been devastated.  A good friend's house is literally covered in downed trees and as we stood talking to them yesterday another fell in their front yard covering their driveway.

Our friend whom we stayed with will be out tomorrow with a chain saw and the clean-up will begin in earnest.
Thank you for all your prayers.
