The other way and it take out our power lines. A lot of our yard still isn't safe with parts of trees hanging on.

Now for the fun part, cleanup and dealing with the insurance company.

No idea when we will get power back on.

Agreed. I heard the storm and thought it was a tornado. Loudest, scariest storm I've ever been through including a few hurricanes. The lightning was the most intense I've ever seen in my life. It felt like pure daylight out there for a few hours...
