| A
severe electrical
storm, moved through here the night of 04 June 2004, bringing with it
winds
of over 60 MPH. It was moving slowly and lasted almost two hours.
It snapped off a large limb from the hackberry tree in the back yard
and
broke our new 20 foot flagpole in the front yard at the joint of the
first and second
sections. |

rearranged
the flagpole sections and it's now back up at 15 feet. See also cut up
the fallen limbs with an electric chainsaw in about two hours and my
GMC pickup
truck bed was plumb full when she got though! I guess we were
lucky the damage
wasn't a whole lot worse. We found out the next day a tornado had
hit
Belton, TX pretty hard about 30 miles from here. |
