I am lucky my wall didnt break. This tree has been giving me a hard time since the day we moved, we were just about to get quotes to get it pulled out, I guess 1/2 the work is done now.

Not quite tornado destruction, but we've had a dozen or so houses knocked off foundations since monsoons started this year... :hammer2:

Lots of strong gusts and sustained winds with these T-Storms... I've got pictures at work of utility poles twisted off like licorice stics. Not to mention the flash flood problems...
... It's an interesting couple of months. :D

That happens alot around CC,Tx....
Construction crews after building new subdivisions come in with those "Quickie Tree Planters" that just drop them in the ground.....After a little rain and wind gusts all the trees are ripped up because they have no root structure :notam:

Guess I should go outside an look. I haven't been outside yet. :notam:
It did rain, but I didn't notice any big winds or anything. You might have got a microburst that we didn't. :confused:

We spent most of the day Sunday disposing of a pepper tree branch that gave up after Saturday's storm here. The boat had been parked under it until two days before. Whew!!

Just checked, everything is fine. I think I have 25 trees or so, most of which are orange trees. They all made it.

No orange juice? lol
I was stopped at a light, and it felt like my truck was going to move on it's own the wind was so bad. I told my wife (which drives a civic) to stay a way from the area for a while. She got home when it had just passed. :cool:
