Goodness.
I’m not sure where you are at, but seeing the news this morning for Kansas is crazy. 12 straight days of at least 8 tornadoes were reported. Yikes!
My husband was out by philly yesterday and they were in a tornado watch for sometime too, but thankfully he said nothing came of it. Just lots of hail and wind.

I'm in Philly actually,luckily for us the surrounding areas were hardest hit as usual.The worst I get is damaged siding.

Ugh, that sucks:/
Will insurance cover the damage?

I didnt bother filing a claim since the damage was minimal.I climbed up on my ladder and repaired it myself.

We've had some rough weather in this area over the past few days with heavy rains and storms.Some areas were hit really hard and there is plentu of property damage.
It's one thing to see a full grown tree uprooted and laying on it's side but it's quite another to see it actually happen.They had amazing video footage of just that on the news this morning.The tree was ripped from the ground and dumped on top of the car that was parked next to it.

Wow. Also this. Seems like some stuff is happening in your neck of the woods.

Yeah my husband said it’s been crazy windy one minute, then completely calm the next. He’s out in nj now. Sever thunderstorms with a tornado watch behind it.
I hope it doesn’t cause too much damage out there.

Haha, that’s what I keep saying to myself since we seem to get rain 4 days out of the week every single week. The grass is now 2” or longer
Yes he is a trucker. He used to run south but made a switch and runs east most of the time now.

Racoons can be dangerous. What type of dog do you have.
