I hope the second half of 2006 goes better than the first part. The one acre house and lot can be cleaned up in a fair amount of time. But when you spread it over 80+ acres, it will take a long time to get it in order. So many trees down, boards with nails, tin, and metal cover the acreage. Some of the metal off of the cattle barns and equipment sheds are driven into the trunks of the trees several inches. It is amazing the force and energy in a F3 tornado. I can't imagine an F5. One piece of tin was driven completely through a wall on the frame house on the property, through the vinyl siding, blandex, tongue and groove wall, then sheet rock. You can see the tin dangling above the window on the house We had to move temporary fences around to keep the cattle in since the all the fences were torn down. I guess in the long run, things will turn out better since we will have to create larger areas for pasture than before. But we wanted to do it on our time, not Mother Nature's! These pictures look like they were taken at a garbage dump.
The pictures are of part of the pasture close to a pond where the cattle like to lay, and the other, a cattle barn, and a house there too. There was only one cow in the pond that was trapped by a tree. She was underneath it, but we cut her out and she is fine. She had a cut on her side and was sliced up a bit on her rump. It is amazing that none of the weaned calves were not killed since they were in a lot that had three barns around it. None of the barns are standing, and one was completely gone. We had another place that the equipment sheds was destroyed, and major damages to the cattle barns. For some reason, the camera date had rolled back to January of 2000. Chuckie

Hopefully, the rest of 2006 will calm down and be much better!
