December 1, 2011 - The Wind Storm

 I found these two videos on YouTube and thought I'd share them.  They are taken just outside my neighborhood. The first one shows the golf course...they lost over 400 trees.


One view from my backyard (I had a couple more on here, but I don't know where they went:):





































My neighbors (and friends) backyard:  They stood and watched as one tree after another fell.  One tree actually hit their house and "bounced off" and took down their deck.  They lost 22 trees (big ones.)  Thankfully they still have about 80 left!

This article tells about the clean-up. It was truly amazing! Definitely a testimony builder. Mom said people from her area drove up with their trucks and trailers to help.
