Did you survive?




THE DECEMBER 1ST WILD WEST WINDSTORM??

Okay, so that might sound a little extreme :)  but for those of you that don't live in Utah, it was pretty nuts!  Hurricane Category 2 winds, which NEVER happens here.  And there was a ton of damage all along the Wasatch Front. 
This was our neighbor's tree that landed six feet from our house!


The tree took up the entire front yard!  And was as tall as the house on it's side!

We wanted to get a picture with one of us in it for scale, but we didn't.  The roots were taller than me when I stood next to them!

Thankfully, there was no damage to our home.  Our roof was re-shingled this summer and it held on tight.  Our neighbors we not so lucky.

Mona loved all the branches!  She was dragging them all over the yard and back again. 

We are so grateful that all our family and friends were safe.  Car limbs through back windows while driving, lost fences and roofs, flying debris and downed trees.  Much repair and replacement and a new appreciation for those who live in areas where natural disasters happen more often than not.
