It really got hairy today!

I really don’t think I could have withstood a direct hit.

I mopped up about 7 gallons of water seeping into my bedroom that came in underneath my window (and I live on the 4th floor). Thankfully I have a commercial mop bucket and squeezer.

A giant hardwood tree outside my condo window that lost about half of its top.

The ducks were enjoying the new pond in our front yard until big branches came crashing down around them.
