A Week of Wind Trashes Trees

After a week of strong winds, gusts from 50-80mph, the temperatures dropping into the low 20 degrees fahrenheit, we assessed the yard. Tree branches, wood chips, trash and unsecured containers were strewn everywhere. Even as the wind continued to blow, Bob tackled the job of cutting down a tree that threatened to fall on the storage garage. He tied it to a rope and used the ATV to pull it in a direction away from the garage with the hope it would not fall on the building or the fence.

Viola, success! Now if only the wind will stop blowing.
