Across the street from us, a neighbor had a HUGE old oak snap in half and block his driveway (house was spared)

Next door neighbor had a tent kinda thing over his "project" Jeep -- big branch came down, smashed in the hood

Up the street, another huge tree came down and wiped out part of ANOTHER tree, and took down the electrical wires

Another big tree across a driveway on our street

Debris in the streets - in some areas, you can't tell the difference between the street and the yards, there's so much debris

Ok, this was creepy... their widening the main road by our house, and just put in a new drainage system (this road runs along the river) -- the water table is SO high, that it literally pushed the new drainage tubes up out of the ground!!

This was the only home (a couple blocks away) that we saw that was damaged - tree looks like it was either struck by lightning OR was diseased and weak, and came down on the front corner of their house.

WOW!!!!

How is your house and family, etc?!?!?!

[Ninedays9]

Wowza! That is very scary! And to think, Eddie and I were amazed when a thunderstorm blew in and uprooted a couple of little tiny pine trees.

[neebelung]

WOW!!!!

We are totally and 100% fine. We were without electricity for about 21 hours, but not a single tree down, no damage to the house or even the yard. Just a lot of debris, small branches, etc... we were very, very, VERY lucky. :grinhappy:

[SerendipityCrafts]

Holy! I can't get over the size of those trees and yet only one house (that you could see) damaged!

I am glad to hear that everyone is safe but I think I would be cutting down anything that might fall on my house if it happened again. That is just too scary!

[bichonlvr]

WOW!!!

VERY lucky!!! Glad to hear it, though :)

[MrsBacon_092708]

I am very glad you and your family are ok.

[Jacklynn]

You certainly had more damage than we had! Glad to know you are okay!!!

[uptowngirl]

Wow - that is insane! So glad you are safe! All the pictures of wires down were freaking me out!

[Whitewater]

I am very glad you're safe, and that it sounds like nobody you know was hurt. Up here we don't get hurricanes, but we do get bad storms and tornados that cause damage that looks exactly like what you're dealing with, so I know what you're going through!

Congrats on not being killed, and I hope that life gets back to normal sooner rather than later.

Ah, there's no way I'd cut down the trees. We live in an older area with lots of trees (and wildlife... owls, bats, squirrels, foxes, etc....) and much bigger lots/pieces of land than in newer areas. Not only is it really pretty and peaceful, but all the trees also keep our electric bills reasonable. :)

[neebelung]

Thanks ladies... yeah, we're back to normal now. I spent the day yesterday cleaning up the yard debris, so now you'd never even know there was a storm. :)

[WebLady]

Wow, must have been some bad winds and rain there! Glad you are ok and it all wasn't worse!

[Scrwballsgrl]

Glad to hear ya'll fared through it okay...We just got lots and lots of rain...
no flooding thankgoodness as we're on the higher points in Mobile County.
but its been a lovely lazy weekend. We just sat around watched TV, old movies & ate ice cream:) Now thats my kinda Tropical Storm:winktongue:

Glad to hear everyone is a-okay in your neck of the woods too!

[Nekochanpurr]

Holy cow!! Thats crazy! Thank goodness you guys are okay..
