| Blown-In Insulation, Blown Out |
I've learned a valuable lesson - when they say "go to your basement," you should go to your basement. The Fortress of Solitude survived a not-quite direct hit, and what passed for a lawn is now shingled, so no more mowing. It appears that the entire house shifted maybe half an inch or so on it's foundation, of course, this a couple months after having a lot of foundation work done. I'd also like back every hour of my life I've spent trimming my trees, because essentially they are all gone. Well, there's the rub, that aren't exactly gone, just horizontal, or snapped off at the worst possible places. The fire department had to cut at least a half-dozen trees that were blocking our driveway, and the utility company is scalping the rest. My sick sawyer skills resulted in my freshly tuned and sharpened saw lasting about 10 minutes before I killed it. I was thinking that I'd need a bigger saw, but given that once these are cleaned up, I won't have anything left to cut.........
Everyone's OK, and I've learned a lot about how electric lines are repaired.

More pictures will follow. I haven't been through all of the cards, but, idiot that I am, I was out on the back porch shooting what appeared to be plain old clouds, when I noticed that large chunks of normally earth-bound stuff was now airborne, which I took to be a "clue" that things were going to get really interesting, really fast.
