WIND STORM

the storm was strong enough in Oklahoma to rip all 3 flags off of the flagpoles at work

We had gusts so strong here in Northern Vermont I could hear small branches snap off the windbreak and break against the house. In morning I only found a couple of poplars down. I was hoping for some easy firewood. We thinned out all the sickly and damaged trees a few years back when the remnants of Hurricane Floyd came calling. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Now THAT was a storm! Picked up our chicken coop (8ft cube with 12"OC framing to hold up under the weight of snow) and blew it several hundred feet UP-hill! It remained upright, thanks to 6x6 skids, but those poor chickens didn't lay right for several days after! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

I have an employee that had a tree fall on his house and heavily damaged it. He told me he was feeling pretty upset and then he found out that his best friend's son has an inoperable cyst in his brain. Randy (my employee) said that kind of put his problem into a different perspective. Needless to say my respect for Randy has went up quite a few notches!
