Do any of you have storm damage to report?

I have a post at the Behind the Headlines blog.

A few small limbs came down. Not as bad as Friday night.

I'm glad for the new chipper shredder. :)

The storm missed my garden, so I had to water it. :P

Power went out twice, but nothing else.

Several limbs from small to large down in the yard...   

looks like a few trees down back in the woods, but I haven't walked back there yet to really take inventory...

Looks like everything that was on the picnic table is scattered around the yard...   

other than that no real damage...

I just checked. Not quite two tenths of an inch of rain fell.

Lots of limbs down in our yard too....one quite large. But that's about it thankfully.

We got hit before you guys did....it happened real fast.  Wind was strong and blew a bird house over and blew a screen right out of a bedroom window.  Which is odd because the windows open out from the bottom at an angle.  Glad it was pouring rain at time and there really weren't too many bugs that got in.

I lost some shingles off the roof on Friday night and fixed those yesterday.

Today nothing.

The storm blew my cages off the broccoli and brussel sprouts and the woodchuck ate the plants.
