Special thanks go to Maple Leaf Mommy and Mom vs the Boys for hosting this Friday Photo Share.
I usually try to have all my posts and photos of a positive nature. However, after going through a whole night and day of howling winds and pounding, rentless, rains, today I find it a difficult and daunting task.
This personal assault by Mother Nautre on our property, let alone our nerves and recalled memories of a similar day in 1976, have left me a little shaken.
So the following are a few photos of the type of things we'll be dealing with over the next several days.
I am very aware, that these are only minor compared to what others may have encountered and what other parts of the world have endured and for this I am very grateful. And I can only say, "May God be with them." But this is our story for today.
 |
| Our door blew open and was torn off it's casing, as it crashed against the side of the garage. |
 |
| Some of the downed branches from the maple tree, littered a now bare, yard. |
 |
| More downed limbs from the maple trees scattered over the yard, with the gated standing lopsided against the wind. |
 |
| Some of the most expensive and difficult to repair damage is missing shingles and tar paper from the roof. |
 |
| A downed cedar tree, now just a snack for the wild deer, until it's cut down for firewood later in the Spring. |
 |
| We removed the center piece of the gate to keep the whole thing from ripping from the now softened grounds.But it now stands partially leaning against the winds. |

| This inside water damage will take several days, a fan, heat and a dehumidifier, to dry, before it's safe to walk on again. |
sorry to see such weather damage, i lived thru the groundhog gale of 1976 & a lot of severe weather out west, it is very scary! i am glad u r safe
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking my blog out. I assume you;re speaking of west Saint John. I was living on Darling's Island and it was very scary here. One of our neighbours lost nearly all his heard of cattle to a fallen barn.
Deletethat comment was frm me, norah, Kathy, it showed up as K's ensemble cuz i am using her computer
ReplyDeleteMother Nature is a fickle lady and was having a major hissie fit yesterday. Sorry that you bore such a brunt of her rage!
ReplyDeleteIndeed she was having a very big hissie fit. But 3 days later, it's all good now. Temporary repairs have been made to the roof and the door will be dealt with later. We fared much better than a whole lot of people in the area.
DeleteOh no, Kathy, you suffered quite a bit of damage! Who would think that something you cannot even see could pack such a punch!
ReplyDeleteThe wind does just disappear leaving blue skies and destruction behind. It's all good now!!!
