Thursday Storm Damage

A pretty strong storm came through here this morning, and this tree blew over - it's in the middle of the block on our side of the street. It fell between two houses, doing damage to both. One of the houses is the one I wrote about where I visited when yard saling one Sat. morning. They had a sign posted - "no trespassing on porch steps." Today when taking this picture, I noticed that next to their front door they have a painted sign that reads "go away." Now most people would have a "welcome" sign. But not these people. No, sir. Theirs says "go away." Don't they sound lovely? Anyway, the winds were pretty strong, and I really haven't been around the neighborhood to see if there were any other trees or branches down near-by or not.
No damage here, thankfully. Hope everyone else can say the same.

Golly, that is one big tree. I guess you can't keep Mother Nature away from your front door.

The Weather Channel said winds got up to 70 MPH around parts of Louisville. So glad none of those big trees on Goddard fell on your house!
