Thar she blows!

Well last night got fun in a hurry. The wind was kicking like Jean Claude Van Damme sparring with Chuck Norris. Come about 5pm got a call from the neighbor asking if the dogs were okay because their tree was blown over. Needless to say, I left work and hauled ass home. Dogs were shaking like leaves but fine. Power was knocked out, and the cinder block wall took a hell of a hit. It shifted a few degrees. Not bad in all. So we all hopped on our cellphones and called the the power company. 5.5 hours later they FINALLY showed up. Took them about an hour to get the power back up and poof, gone. Now is the clean up stage. My neighbor brought over his chainsaw today and started cutting. On the plus side we'll have plenty of fire wood.
