While everyone was watching Irene, Mother Nature decided to play a joke on us. We woke up early to big wind, driving rain, and lots of flash and boom. This is what we found after sunrise:
sigh...
Here's another shot of the ash tree. I'm really going to miss that one- it had such beautiful yellow fall foliage.
Not fun at all, this "joke"... What happened? A storm? Is there this kind of damage on an extended area, or are you the unlucky ones?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with fixing all the damage... and I'm very sorry for your apple tree.
A nasty storm blew through before sunrise this morning. As far as we can tell, we got the worst of the damage. I assume it was a microburst. Nothing else would have enough force to punch a tree branch through the very strong plastic of the pool side. It's too big to be repaired.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Sad damage and so much effort to make what repairs are possible. The apple tree is so sad. I'm glad you're okay though!
ReplyDeleteoh CRUMBS. I guess on the upside, swim season is almost over... and maybe you can take advantage of end of season sales to replace it? But oh that pretty tree!
