We survived

No sounds of freight trains and it looks like the nasty storm front
has moved on past. I'm having a glass of wine now. Persia is
rolling around on her crackle sack (she loves that thing!). Peaches
is busy ringing her bell toys. All is right in our world

We got it pretty bad in our area. An old house (federal style from the
1800's) that was always beautifully decorated was heavily damaged (I used to
pass it 2x daily on my way to/from work), roof town off and a bunch of the
wood-plank siding ripped off the southeast corner.... more branches & limbs
down in our yard, but the rental across the street, had a huge, ancient tree
from their front yard land on it. And the owners had just had the
maintenance dudes clean it up on Saturday (from Friday night's storms).
Looks like they may have a bunch of repairs to do to the house before they
can rent it again

Glad to hear that it's over and you're no worse for wear.

I'm sorry to hear that, but glad that, from your silence on the
subject, you and your property must have come through mostly unharmed.

Limbs down in the yard, mostly - will wait for a nice dry day to clear them
up, And our trash cans were blown about a bit, but not as bad as on Friday
(we found one in the road Saturday morning, and also a bunch of fencing in
the addition behind us was torn down - mostly at one house, and his 2
dobermans were galivanting around the neighborhood. We went to them and
told them at around 8am-is, woke them up and they had no clue to the
condition of their fencing!)

Lucky me, out of tornado range by quite awhile. Though, I'll admit
that I'm wondering what happened to our winter. I'm in western NY
State, USA. some how, we havn't had the snow we usually have.
