Well, July sure came in with a bang!  On July 1st a ferocious storm with 80-100 mph straight-line winds swept through our area leaving lots of damage behind.  We were pretty lucky since our house was not damaged, however it took a lot of big trees down and did some damage to our sheds and barns.  Below are some pictures of the damage.

On of the 3 big evergreens that were uprooted at our place

A piece of a grain bin was laying on the side of our gravel road.  I'm not sure which neighbor this came from - there were a couple that had bins collapse.

This tree feel just next to our house (thank goodness!)  It didn't do any damage to our house, but we lost a nice shade tree!

 This is Nick's parent's yard.  They got hit a lot harder than we did; I think there's just a few trees left standing in their yard now!  Luckily, they didn't do any major damage to their house either.
