We had a violent 60mph wind and torrential rain on Tuesday and rain wrapped tornados. We lost a 60 foot Cottonwood. and part of a Black Walnut and other stuff and the flooding is bad. We have more storms coming tomorrow and through the weekend. The pond is topping .... this is getting old. Yesterday we worked for 10 hours clearing downed trees and today we burned a HUGE pile of debris. This beauty was my reward . EXPLORED !

Finally these three sayed still long enough to play at Just Good Friends ! EXPLORED !
