Summer Storms

 We have had quite a few nasty storms over the last few weeks. Glenn and Glenys were unfortunate to get hit by the tornado, but fortunate that no one or any animals were hurt. The damage is pretty severe but thankfully the restoration company has been out to the house and have got the ball rolling. There were many others hit by the storm and it was great to see the community step in and see where help was needed. The day I took these pictures there was probably a total of 20 something people who stopped by to see how Glenn and Glenys were doing, they are truly blessed by neighbours and a great church family! I know that they are blessed with all of your thoughts and prayers.

Neighbours just down the road.

The neighbours brand new shed - a month old. One wall left standing. The rest of the shed was strewn throughout the field and their trees. 

Glenn and Glenys had two bins fall over. At least they fell the 'right' way. The auger was left standing.


The front of their house. Their bedroom is the very fair right one. Morgan and Correna's old room and the kitchen all had water damage. 
There used to be a peak over the big windows in the front of the house.  There were so many shingles scattered around the house. There was even a piece of plywood by the bins that were knocked over.

Minor tree damage by the garage.

Some of the trees were completely uprooted.

At the end of the gas tanks there used to be a beautiful gas house. 

It was thrown about 30 feet. (I'm not good at guessing distances.) It was tossed over Uncle Roy's brand new semi and trailer and hit nothing but the ground. 

Glenys' chicken run. The fence is completely bent over. She might just have free range chickens this year. 

A different look at the gas house.

We needed a pick me up, so Sawyer played with Doc for a while. She sure loves him and he loves (well at least tolerates) her.


On the side by side to check damage.

A look out the bedrooms.


The pressure was so strong that it blew out the back window of the green half ton. 

The other chicken coup has a new lean.
