Just after that violent storm last night, firetrucks passed by my house and stopped on the corner. I went out on the porch to nose around and noticed they were removing tree limbs and such, then early this morning I heard a chain saw running, so without a doubt there is plenty of tree limb damage around our entire area.

The storm came up so quickly it was amazing, very high treacherous winds, blowing, pounding rain, with the heavy electrical storm was kind of spooky for a few moments. And the storm lasted a good hour, decreasing in high winds only and less tense rain, but the electric storm last a long time. I do have a tv in my bedroom, it is not as complicated as the one in the living room-this one allows for multi-viewing options, full cable service and music channels as well. It has a special box allowing these features and that is what is messed up. Oh well, I can go into the bedroom and read and have tv on mute or at least the weather channel. That tv has it's own line same as my internet connection.

Would have loved to have seen the Doves. I hear morning and evening doves cooing around here, love those sounds. ;0)

I grew up with mourning doves and love their song..These doves do not coo as much nor sound so sweet but I do enjoy having them as they”hang out” here..when others are scarce..I just saw 4 mockingbirds in the front yard a chasin’ and “displaying”..They are rarely at the back...too wooded, I suppose.

I have been through those electrical storms and high winds..
They can get spooky...and down big trees.

I lost 7 trees during Hurricane Gloria. I know the feeling well. I had a brand new car that all of the trees failed to hit.
