Hurrican Ike, Day 4

Day 4 was Clean Up The Backyard Day. The above pictures were some taken the day before the storm. It was all nice and clean...

As you can see, the deck was covered and you can't even see the grass in the back. If you are looking at green, it's leaves or pine needles, not grass.
Remember the limb that fell when Tony went out during the storm? You can see it laying by the slide in the back of this photo. What you see laying on the sidewalk is how the entire yard looked.
We still can't get over the fact that this thing fell the way it did. The heavy end of the limb ended up stuck down in the ground about 6 inches.
