[SIZE3] A spectular light and sound show [/SIZE] [SIZE3] We trundled off to bed at 11pm last night, there was a faint rumble of thunder off in the distance. By 11:17 all heck broke loose. Lightning flashes every ten seconds or so, thunder you could feel and marble size hail hitting the house with such force I thought the windows might brake. Not much sense staying in bed so we got up and watched the light show. The hail and wind was so bad you could not see more than 10 or 15ft away. It took almost an hour and half for the storm to pass and we could get back into bed. It only took another hour for the dogs to settle down. 8am and I am out looking at the yard. The garden? Forget it, the corn stalks are bare except for the cobs, beet tops shredded, pumpkins shredded, cucumbers shredded, carrots flattened, green onions flattened. Cherry tree? More fruit and leaves on the ground than on the tree, apple trees lots of leaves and some apples on the ground, apples on the tree pitted, same for the Saskatoon bushes. Many flower pots broken, some garden animals/ornaments broken. Mrsdinty's patio cherry tomatoes, how sad, she might get a few to ripen. The water table is so high the ground squishes when you walk across the lawn(as we drove around we saw a few people pumping out their basements). So over all, it was a great light and sound show but the aftermath was not very nice. Good thing we are having our roof re-shingled and the farmer's markets are in full swing. Oh and let me know when you are finished with your Jack'o lantern this Halloween. |

We are in the process of getting a new roof on as it is, all the roofing material is already up on the roof just waiting for the roofers to show up.

Sorry to hear that Dinty. I could imagine how bad to see all those vegetables and plants worn out by the storm. I do remember when I was still in the Philippines after the storm and flood our rice planted were all destroyed. I am glad Mrs. Dinty and you were safe. I am afraid of thunder and lighting. Take care. "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

Wow what a mess. If there was damage to your roof check with your home owner's insurance. maybe you can get some help with the cost of your reroofing. Spiritwoman ^i^

Sorry to read about your problems from the storm, dinty. You must be very disappointed to lose all your veggies. Must be very disheartening. Alfie...
