We live in an area called the Tree Streets. There are lots of trees, and each street has a tree name. On Wednesday, a storm centered on our area, with fast winds and hail. Also huge lightening. This is the resulting damage. I snapped these as we drove to church right after the storm. One huge tree fell on a roof! Thankfully, no one was badly injured. Power was lost for thousands. All we lost was a freezer full of food.
We are still in a waiting mode for the surgeries. We will be in north Carolina maybe four days if all goes well. Love to all of you!!

Glad no one was hurt! Wow that was a bad storm!

Boy that must have been a dreadful disructive storm and perhaps even frigtening, I am glad not one was injured wiht all the trees falling,
That was some storm. Glad no one was hurt. A shame to see all those trees damaged though.
Thank goodness,no one was seriously hurt during that storm. I hate to see trees and large branches coming down.
I hate to see all those trees down - but glad you 'just' lost your food. Let us know when the surgery is!
I am glad you are safe...I will be glad when the surgeries are over for both of you. And when a week or two has passed.
Thank God nobody was hurt!
Glad no one was hurt.
Wow. Mother Nature's force is nothing to laugh at.
The old saying, "When it rains it pours" really applies to you. Trust things start getting better soon. Sometimes, life is just not fair. Truly wish you and family the best filled with many blessings. It will get better.
Wow, I didn't know there was such a bad storm in Virginia! Sorry you lost the food, that stinks! I'm counting on you to let me know if you need a warm, comfy bed Ginny!
wow, that is a serious storm. Wish you all the best.
Greetings,
Filip
Good to hear that you are safe. Sad to see all those beautiful trees damaged. Remembering Phil and you in our prayer.
I think about you both every day and say a prayer. Thank you for keeping us all in the loop.
Gosh that is a very bad storm. Am glad both of you are okay. Will be praying for a smooth surgery for Phil. Stay strong, Ginny
Those look like rough storms. Been thinking of you and Phil. Hope things go well in NC.
Oh that looks like a bad storm blew through. The winds must have been terrible! Glad no one was injured, but I'm sorry you lost all that food. Take care and know we're thinking of you and Phil and praying for good results from the surgeries!
We lived through a small tornado like that years ago when we lived in MA. it took down massive trees in our yard and the surrounding neighborhood. It was like walking thru a jungle. Insurance wouldn't pay to have the trees removed cause it didn't hit our house or the garage. Just missed them by a couple of feet. So you can guess we were pretty busy for a while. Glad it was in our younger years. It was very scary. Glad you are safe and praying hard for you guys.
glad you are safe!! these are really good pics but, so sad to see the loss of such beauty.
I've missed blog land! just know that I've had you and Phil in my thoughts and prayers.

Very bad storm there, Ginny!! So how have you been? Sorry for not coming lately.. been running up and down but nevertheless, still have time to blog... Hope all will be fine with you and your family! God Bless!
Things are going to get better for you and family. Sometimes it is hard to understand the whys.I think of you and regret what your poor husband is having to go through.
Hi Ginny, So glad you did not have damage. It is hard when trees fall. We had a enormous Oak fall at our TN home a number of years back when we still were living on the lake. Makes a big expensive problem. I am praying for your hubby and you! Be encouraged!
We had same hit us many years ago. Scary. It did bring neighbors close to gether even strangers. Out of it. We helped a couple to help rake up damage and haul branches with them. We had not any damage like others but did have no power for over a week.
