A system of storms blew through my city last night that brought with it winds of betwwen 90-100mph. As far as I know there were no tornadoes but from the damage it looks like a small tornado passed through!!

Roof tiles- these are EVERYWHERE! I am so glad that we have Renter's Insurance with wind-damage coverage!!

This branch is at least 6 inches in diameter and was in our front yard... It didn't come from our tree :confused:

This branch is even larger and I think that it may have come off of our tree.... This branch was across the street in our neighbor's yard.

Our very heavy cast iron and steel grill: This was tossed about 10 feet from where we had it stored!

Thankfully our insurance will cover the roof and the grill if it ends up being damaged. We haven't gotten a chance to examine either thing very closely. It really is a miracle that there wasn't more damage. Any one of those giant branches could have easily taken out a window or worse. Thankfully our van wasn't damaged either!! It was in our carport and is filthy from having debris blown at it but as far as I can tell there isn't even a scratch on it!
