As we crept outdoors on Friday morning, we thought - ok this doesn't look TOO bad!  LOTS of leaves - we're good with that - cars look whole......................how bad could this be?

OH MY GOD!  Ummmmmmmmm John, that tree is pointed WAY in the wrong direction - it is entirely across the street - and visiting our neighbors for breakfast.  I think they may not be impressed.  SURE  look like all the power wires are ON the car.  Oh my......................

This sidewalk is going to be VERY hard for people to navigate!  It's going in the wrong direction!  Straight north, I believe!  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  State Farm??????????????

Oh my goodness - Mr. Rootball - what a BIG BOY YOU ARE!  I think it could be a long time before we're dug outta' this mess!

Newly named Bridge Over Massive Rootball - mother nature certainly has her own idea of what Better Homes and Gardens look like!  That is a very LARGE slab of concrete!

Such a gorgeous old massive Oak.  Sure hate to see ya' go - of course who says we WILL see you go for quite some time?  Unbelieveable size on this tree - fell over in one complete piece.  Ummmmmmmmm John, could you bring the John Deere around?  We have some SERIOUS yard work to do!

OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Nevermind the John Deere - it's in here!  Oh mercy - the pen turning lathe/metal lathe/and two Shopsmiths/this is Boy Toy Zone.  Looks like John will be getting a new house.  =)  That can't be ALL bad!

Oh my - definately a new Boy Toy Zone for John.  This is one gnarly mess!  NONE of these are our trees - they all belong to neighbors - well they USED to - we are now the proud owners.

Later in the day.
 

This house (what you can see of it) is down the street.  It's primarily buried in trees.  This one will be out of commission for awhile - think we can count on that.

More house - more destruction - what a mess!

Ok I've had enough - this is depressing.  Thank you Isabel - it'll take many many months and tons of money to get over your lovely calling card.
