Hurricane Ike comes to the Ozarks-

We were very lucky. No damage to the house with Ike's high winds and heavy rains. We did have three trees go down in the back yard. They lifted by the roots and fell uphill. I forgot to take pictures until today, while we've been cutting them down. The top picture shows the Cedar tree which is our biggest issue. It's stuck in the neighbor's tree and we don't want it to crash down on their brand new fence. We've sent my son's friend up the tree, cutting off branches, so tomorrow, we can hopefully get it down. In the bottom picture, you can see how the trees lifted out of the ground and fell like dominoes, one over the other, although all that's left are stumps and the roots.

We hope to have some resolution to this tomorrow.
