Hey, Guys!  One week ago today we got slammed by a tornado here in the Delaware Valley.  My small town was hit pretty hard.  Luckily there were no deaths around here.  No one in my neighborhood was injured.  My house was pretty much spared, with just a couple of pieces of siding pulled away.  The shed was unharmed.  My big trees in the back took a terrible beating.  3/4 of my big, beautiful Swamp Maple was obliterated when the top half of a giant pine tree broke off and came crashing down on it, propelled by super high winds from about fifty feet above.  The ensuing wood avalanche took out a couple more healthy trees before the whole mess came down on my back chain link fence.  I'm just about to go back there now and cut more trees out of the disaster.  My poor Husky pups, Pandora and Magni, are going mad without their yard.  Hopefully today I can get enough debris out of the way to put up some temporary fencing to keep them in until I can get the chain link repaired. 
    I just took Pandora to the local dog park.  Same deal; big trees down everywhere.  We were without power for four days.  Many are still out.  A wide area was effected. Initially a half a million were without power.  It could have been worse but loosing most of that giant, beautiful Swamp Maple is a shame.

Ratman, hope your clean up goes well and smoothly

The link worked for me.  Let me know if you have any trouble.

Hey Ratman
Glad you and your pack are all safe. Never been in a tornado thank God just a couple of hurricanes.😄
Stay Safe

That tornado touched down in swedesboro. Nj.  20 mins from me. We lost power for 5days. On the road  where my gf lives. A oil truck  slide and took out 7 telephone poles. Looked like apocalyptic movie.

   I finally got all of the brush out of the  fenced in part of the yard.  It made a pile for the township to pick up about fifty feet long, five feet high and six feet wide.  Lots of branches. The bigger logs I'm keeping for the fire pit.  I still have the woods part of the yard outside of the fence... there's just as much wood debris back there as was in the fenced in part.  It's taking me a while because I'm working by myself.  Eventually I'll get it done.  I want my nice yard back.  Tornadoes can really suck.
