Assessing Storm Damage

Assessing the damage to our yard the morning after strong storms we got in mid-Michigan on August 24th.

When the winds and rain calmed down, we learned we had lost at least one tree. When the sun came up, I was surprised at how many trees fell.

We are very fortunate that all of our damage appears to have been in the yard and not on our house.

I have never personally been through storms that strong. Three cells had tops around 70,000 when they were passing over our house. Power was down for four days, and even as I type this, there are still several areas around us that are without electricity.
