That BLOWS

I don't know what was going on at 4:00 today where you live... but here in West Jordan the WIND was BLOWING and the RAIN was POURING. HARD. It was so loud, we thought the house was either going to blow down or land in Oz. After the craziness I got a phone call from my sees Leanne asking if Russ and I could come down and help them. They only live 5 houses down so her kids came and watched Baylor and we ran down. During the wind, their trampoline flew across their fence and into the neighbors yard, almost crossing another fence!!! Here's the view from Leanne's back steps. If you look clear back by the tree you can see the tramp.
A closer view. Talk about crazy!
The sad news is that they only got this trampoline in June. The bars were so bent that we had to tear it apart and get rid of it :(
Sorry sees, no bueno.
The neighborhood took a pretty hard hit. Our neighbors' fence blew down, there were shingles EVERYWHERE, and the worst for us, the "bounce bounce" went bye-bye. sad face.

It was pretty stormy and windy in Draper too! BUT not like that. That is too bad!! It is crazy how storms can concentrate so much in one area.

Yeah, our power was out for 20 hours straight due to it, which at one point caused all of our fire alarms to go off. Roxey sure loved that!
