Hurrican Ike Around Our Yard

Progress photo-taking it out a bit at a time:

No Damage to any house or to any one. But a mess to clean up, still we count our blessings: the wind was blowing east to west most of the time and our house faces south so tress pretty much fell paralell with the house. Picture below is of our west side neighbor's back yard. Good size tree takes up about half his back yard. Notice the fence at bottom right, it is flat on the ground. The neighbor let me use his chain saw to remove the tree from his yard. The missionaries have been helping us remove the root system--chalking down that service, meanwhile I drag our neighbors over to meet the Elders!










Took out the west fence, nearly hitting the neighbor's house




Got lucky on this one. The tree is pretty, but it must GO! GO!! GO!!! No damage to roof. Neighbors Aaron and Tina and son Ryan helped remove it just after the storm passed. They also helped everyone around the neighborhood!
