It's not dry here either. Last friday we had 80 mph winds and it had to have been 2 storms meeting each other the way the trees fell... I got stuck on the hwy and luckily the fire dept came out clearing the hwy of trees and I helped with that so I could get home. Downed trees were everywhere, sheds/bldgs have walls or tin missing. About every rooftop around for a 35 mile radius (at least) has damage. Some had trees fall on their homes, trees were uprooted or snapped off. The storm was in Madison, Iron, St. Francois, Ste Genevieve, Perry and Northern Cape Counties. There were over 10,000 meters out of electric just with our Co-op. Downed lines and we didn't have any electric from friday until yesterday evening. I just thank God there weren't any injuries and the weather wasn't too hot or too cold as that would have made it miserable. Fortunately, the garage has an apt in it with a gas stove so we were able to cook. One of the deep freezers thawed everything out so that was a mess and I got it out and Mom took pictures with her camera (only to find out the next day that she didn't haven't any film in it and I didn't find that amusing........... I'll know if there's ever a next time to check the camera myself). I have no idea how much rain we've gotton but its been too much. It was a strange storm, a thick fog rolled in mid morning and within a couple hours the storm hit.
There is no shortage of firewood for this winter if a person will apply themself.
