Hurricane Irene

Yikes! It's not every week you get to experience an earthquake and a hurricane all at once! Fortunately we were safe in our house from the storm, but here are some pictures Ryan took. The first is of a tree in our backyard being blown in the wind. The second and third pics are of a 70 foot pine tree that came down in our friends yard. Crazy, huh? Then on Sunday, church meetings were cancelled and all the men headed out for clean up projects which lasted most of the day. We were one of the few that had power all day Saturday, made it through the storm with only a couple of flickers and then on Sunday, after we lent out our generator, we lost power!!! (haha! just our luck!) The last picture is of a little bird that Ryan spotted, hiding in a corner on our front porch, shielding itself from the powerful wind and rain. I guess even the little birds have to find shelter too. :)
