Storm Damage

Here are a couple of the pictures Emily sent me from their neighborhood in Webster Groves, Missouri, near St. Louis.  Weather seems so much more extreme in the Midwest.

Here is a tree that fell in a neighbor’s yard.  Notice the neighborhood school in the background.  Emily said that it just lost a sign.

And here is a nearby house where a tree fell.  I see they are already starting the cleanup.

It looks like a really cute little house, too.  I hope they manage to save it. 

There must be a lot of work for tree services in Missouri, especially after a storm like this.  We lost a tree during that last windstorm ourselves, but it wasn’t near any buildings.  And when Andrew moved in, we had them take down one cottonwood that was leaning a bit too far towards the mobile home.  We don’t like to do that, but it was going to fall eventually anyway.

And it’s supposed to be windy — again — here, too, tomorrow and the next day.  Let’s hope it’s not as windy, and no duststorm!
