Perry can be a windy city so it's not unusual for the wind to blow often. One day the wind was getting pretty brisk. Quincy and her friends were out playing on the trampoline.I went to the window and knew just by the looks of things that something crazy was coming. I ran to the back of the house yelling to Chris that we needed to get Quincy and the girls in the house. At that same moment they had figured that out themselves and were trying to run inside. A microburst landed right on our house. It tore off several of our shingles and pounded them into the side of our neighbor's house. It also picked up our very heavy gas grill on the back patio and turned it upside down on the deck, swirling ashes everywhere. And it ripped the full grown tree in our front yard right out and onto the ground! The poor girls were so scared. They had a hard time making it into the house with shingles and ashes flying through the air. I am just grateful that no one got hurt. You should have heard the stories those girls told for days after their incident!!
Our poor tree...it took 12 years to grow that tree!
