Power


In yet another Summer Storm we saw the power of the wind.


A Post-tropical Storm that ended up consisting of 139 km an hour winds whipped through our region just over a week ago.


First the winds blew from one direction snapping branches and felling trees. Then we had the quiet of the storm's eye giving us a chance to survey some of the damage.


Then the second half of the storm hit. This time the winds were coming from the opposite direction. Trees that had lost half their branches one way now lost the other half the other way. Leaving the tree split down the middle.


Our trampoline that was donated to the kids to celebrate their homecoming first went one way into the neighbours field and then ended up at the other end of the field by the time the storm was finally over.


Thankfully we were only without electricity for 2 days. Many others in our region were out for almost a week. 


Thank you God for protecting us and giving us such wonderful friends who gave us a place (with a flushing toilet), to hangout at while we waited for the electricity to be reconnected!
