Description

Hello One and All... I have to leave for a time to help in anyway I can for those friends family and neighbors that have been effected by this latest devastation due to 2 separate storms...one Tuesday morning(7/24/2012)and Thursday morning(today 7/26/2012)... We 1st had to deal with no rain for nearly 45 days straight and when we finally did get the rain it came with a price..This really tugs at the heart strings I'm telling ya........ My hometown of(Beloit,Wisconsin)was devastated Tuesday morning as you can see by just some of the pictures I posted above and our turn...(Jefferson,Wisconsin)came this morning around 2am and well ...I haven't had any time to take those pictures yet..I'll be taking a leave of absence until further notice as me and my sons grab our saws and see if we can help in the clean up at all possible.No one at this point has been reported hurt which is the best possible news but my God their is a lot of damage throughout 9 different counties as we were not the only one to take it on the chin so to speak.According to the weather folks it wasn't a Tornado but it might just as well been as you can see we got hammered....Some places reported winds over 80 miles an hour..I have trees down once again but not on my property..Other neighbors weren't so lucky this time... I'll be back when all settles down ... ~Will~ You might want to zoom as the pictures are much bigger and show better detail...

Nature can, times, be harsh. Our planet really isn't as hospitable as we are lead to believe. Humans are dammed lucky to be still here on this spinning rock. Be careful out there and I hope all is brought into some semblance of order. Keep the faith, Will!!!!!

Ooh no, what a disaster. This storm has certainly left a mess in its wake. I hate seeing the trees blown over as they have put so much energy into getting to this stage and making the city look so beautiful only to have this happen. Good news that no one was hurt though. Do take care using your saws and we will see you back when you have recovered.

It's good to hear no one has been it but this just goes to show the huge power of nature. Terrible for all concerned. Take care and good luck with your clearup and look forward to seeing your post when you can return.

Like getting 45 days of rain in 45 minutes. In the northeast US, my immediate area escaped a couple of bad stormfronts. Other areas not so lucky. Some amazing pictures.

I just got back after an almost 3 week away from the galleries due to storm damage. I wish you well Will. This year has been devastating all over the place. Take your time Will and we will be happy to see you when you get back.

I am so sorry to hear this. We have not had any rain either, but one of these days there will be a big storm. I hate to see the big old trees fall. Good luck!
