April 20th, another storm system came through. This one was not supposed to be as bad as the last one, just maybe some straight line wind to worry about. I was at work when it went through, it got really dark and stormy. I didn't think much about it until I got a call from mom saying they had two trees down, one that had crushed their gazebo and was in the pool. They also had no power and apparently their poor dog had gotten so scared she jumped in the pool too! ( she was fine and was able to get out, only to jump in it again when dad cranked up the chainsaw... silly dog) Then I got a call from my friend Melanie saying that when her hubby was going to drop their children off at NBD (where JE is also at) a tree had fallen on a power line and the school had no power. They quickly got in touch with us and we were able to go pick everyone up. That meant JE got to come to work with mommy for a little bit, because there were trees down everywhere in Summerfield (where mom and dad live.) They were blocking one of the entrances to the neighborhood. So, when Jamie and I finally got over to their house after work this is what we found...
