We were hit hard and I made a run around the property at least as far as I could get.

Well, in the grand scheme of things, you're doing OK...
Nothing hit your house or vehicles...no injuries and you must still have electricity (since you're posting).
And, look at that firewood you'll have come Winter...

dex - I have a good friend that lost 300 hogs due to some wild cherry trees that were knocked down in a storm and he did not see them and the hogs ate the leaves and all died....huge loss...so I hope you have no animals that could happen to.
I hate the high winds when we get them or the Ice storms....I almost always know I am in for some serious work on the farm cleaning up the downed trees and branches....Sorry it happened to you..

Roy you are so right. We have been without power since Friday at 6:30or so. I have been running my small diesel generator and keeping a window unit ac and an oxygen concentrator running. Thankfully there was no damage to the house or any buildings. It is a mad house looking for fuel and people are at there best at times like these. I went out to Church and to look for fuel for myFIL he wanted to keep running his gas generator but went through all his gas.

I have no animals my neighbors do but have been busy getting rid of the wild cherry before it wilts. It is really a wide area event.

I will not be able to cut the one with the helmet in the pic because it drops straight off behind the log and it would be dangerous to cut it with the equipment I have.
