We had bad Thunder Storms with high winds come through Michigan today. Around 4:30 the electricity went out and then I heard a loud crack. I look out the window and this is what I saw! The tree limbs cover about 1/2 of the back yard fence line, but only did damage to the wheelbarrow and the fence. I am also including a "before" picture. No one was hurt and I guess we were thinking about a privacy fence anyhow.






Here is the before, this is the area that is covered by the trees and the limbs.

Oh my! What a storm that must have been!
I'm so thankful noone was injured! Bet you were keeping your babies safe and warm the entire time! You sure do have a bright outlook on the situation!

We had that wind also on Sat night and most of sunday. ended up with lots of little branches all over the place. One larger tree lost a limb but that was away from anything else. What I'm always surprised at is the stuff that stays in place with all that wind!! Windy today but not as bad -more to come however.

We live in Lansing and we didn't get it all that bad. It rained real hard and we had pea sized hail.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. We were so shocked when we seen what happened!! Monte, Vinnie and Caesar were all a little freaked out because of the loud thunder, it was the first thunderstorm they had been through!!!
