What a Mess!!!!

Sunday we got up early to head to the farmers swap. We had a few rabbits and a couple of saddles that we wanted to sell. The weather was fairly nice, not as hot as we expected it to be and there was a very nice breeze. However we could see very dark clouds looming on the horizon to the west of us and headed our way. At about 11:30am we decided to head home as everyone else was leaving. Once we were home we got things unloaded, checked the animals and came inside. Matt & I were going to go pick up some groceries, Carter wanted to stay home. For some reason I decided to turn on the TV and just check the weather. Good thing I did as we had a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. Boy, was it severe! The winds were straight line, not sure of the gusts, but the rain was coming down so hard we couldn't even see out the windows. We could hear things hitting the house so headed downstairs and that is when the power went out. The storm blew through and this is what we saw when we looked outside! What a mess!!!


We lost our apple tree :(


Huge mess in the pasture



Tree on a garage in Rowley



The Prespeterian Church in Rowley



Our driveway was blocked by the cedar tree that fell.

The goats enjoyed their snacks.



The kid enjoyed playing on the huge tree that fell.

Damage from Rolwey. The electric company is repairing lines down the street.
