Oh no!!! I am so glad nobody of you is hurt. It could have happened so easily!
Now it's getting house and car and electricity back which is bad enough in itself. We are nothing against nature

Glad you and the kitty girls are together and safe now.

The carport all cleaned up with the poor lonesome shed with only the Nitro to keep it company.

This is the trunk of the tree that fell on the house.. that tree was massive! We could not believe it ripped it out of the ground.

the heavy equipment was brought in to do the heavy stuff...

This is the little thing that got the job done!!!

Oh my goodness! I am so glad everyone is okay. I got tears in my eyes when Carol gave us this news to begin with and I did again when looking at these pictures. I just can't imagine.
I've not been in a large earthquake even (knock on wood) here in Cali. In fact there was a 4.2 last night 7 miles from us and we didn't even feel it.

Everyone affected by this is in my thoughts.

What a mess! I'm so glad no one was hurt.

Oh wow Laura! I'm glad you are all okay!

I'm so glad that no one was hurt. The photos are something to see all the damage that was done.

Laura, is it possible you could return to work later than Wednesday? Looks like you should rest a bit before going back after what you've endured.

Wow, Laura! I'm so glad you and all your babies (including Rie and grandbabies) are ok, that's the most important part. Looks like cleanup and repair willbe a job, but it's so nice to know you have family, friends and neighbors who are more than willing to help.

Whew! We'll be hoping and praying the next storms don't come your way too!

I am not leaving my house to go anywhere until we know what Ike is going to do.. If it hits here while I am on the boat, they would have to get me off and home at their expense and that isn't cheap so I am sure they will agree to let me stay off until this new danger has passed.

I wish I could go back to work rather than have all this worry..
