Garden and storm

Janicholson · Jun 21, 2013

2:45 AM a front came through the St. Cloud area my garden is on the lee side and suffered only light damage to a few lilies. More than 100 trees were taken in the 30 blocks around me, but none in my yard. The pressure change was so great that the brass weather seals were making like a harmonica reed letting air out. Nasty.

janicholson,
Glad you did not get much damage. Too bad for your neighbors - kind of a bummer to lose a lot of mature trees.

That came through here around 4pm. Lots of damage. Campers where all set up in Clear Lake for the rodeo next week and I guess they all got wiped out. I had a wind break of corn stalk bales still up and the wind took them over, knocking out a fence line. Probably a dozen trees down, one split and smoking. Crazy stuff.

Thanks, Some still W/O electricity. Twisting was in the air at tree level. Our house decompressed so rapidly that the brass weather stripping was making like a harmonica reed, only loud! Tops of maples and oaks were twisted off at the 6 to 8 inch size and that was solid, not decayed material.
All is well and no loss of life. Jim
