Storm last night tore up my mator's

gixxerific · September 26, 2012

A pretty brutal and long lasting storm came through last night, it came in wave after wave all night. It got crazy windy too, lots of damage mine was minor but there were tornado's and lots of other wind damage trees uprooted, semi's blown over on the highway, etc.

These were tied with wire to the fence and to each other well as being tied to stakes opposite the fence side. They came down as one. It is a wind tunnel here but this has never happened, I take all the precautions. Oh well just got added to "next" on the chopping block. Fall is coming fast here gotta clean up anyways.

gosh sorry to hear of the damage mother nature brought your way.

I do love your weeping willow in the back, beautiful.

Thanks Meadowyck.

By they way there is another Willow just like that one on other side of the yard at the base of my other garden.

Wow, It's heartbreaking to have so much damage, glad to hear you are ok otherwise.

Sorry about the maters! That hurts. Glad everyone's okay.

Sorry about that damage, but be thankful that nobody is hurt. Perhaps you can replace the stakes or at least some of them. I wish you good luck! clara
