After The Storm

See orginal.

Beck and I are ok. We had some property damage. We lost
several trees and my satilite dish is hanging down the side
of the house. The bridge next to us has a small log jam.

We lost our power 1:00 Sun. morning but it was back on about
5:00 that evening. Cell phones are still out. The cell tower
went down when the winds were clocked at 190 mph. Telephones
are finally working and the internet just came back up a few
minutes ago. The post office in Rockaway Beach had all of there
windows blown out. The Methodist Church in Bay City lost its steeple.

This picture was taken over at Oceanside. They still have alot of
power lines down.

I have heard that we had 20 inches of rain in 2 days.

Nikon D70
1/60s f/5.6 at 70.0mm iso1600 full exif

Thank God you were kept safe, Katie. Storms allow us to catch a glimpse of the power of God, don't they?
