Sunday Night as we were reading family scriptures, the wind picked up, as we looked out our front room window.... the wind became horrible and then a large flash of light we saw from across the street. Then all the houses on the other side of the street went dark. A transformer blew.
We soon find out that trees have fallen in to yards and even on houses of some of our neighbors. Those of us still with electricity gathered families without, in our homes, while the men went to help a neighbor down the street that their electrical pole was broken, tree was on their roof, and live wires were sparkin'
Then we decided to see what OUR damage was..... a huge section of the shingles on our roof had come off.....
They had all landed in our backyard and our neighbors backyards......
Jeff spent from the moment he got home from school at 3 pm till 6:30 pm reroofing our home. When he could have been studing for the 2 tests he had today..... last time he had these same 2 classes tests..... is when I had my seizure. Bad luck - these tests seem to bring to us.... I am glad the semester is half way over!!!

Oh no! I'm so sorry! That is crazy. I can't believe how the weather just turns at the drop of a hat around here!! I've been enjoying our warm Fall, though. Hope you guys have a fun Halloween planned!
luckily it was just the shingles & not a tree through the roof. still a big pain though. glad you're all okay :)
scarey stuff! we had a terrible wind storm up here in seattle aa few years ago. we lost a tree in the backyard that was close to falling on the house. we only lost electricity for a day, but some were out for weeks. glad you are all ok! take care!
