Excitement in Davis County

As most of you know or experienced Davis county had a huge windstorm on the first of December. Let me tell you It was BIG! You can't go more than half a block without seeing a down tree, fence, or some kind of damage. I guess the majority of it happened that morning and Skyeler and I had slept in a little and we woke up around 9:30-10am and noticed that the power was out and it was super windy. Well as we were getting up we went outside and saw trash all over the street since our trash cans had been out and Dad had called me to go pick our up from the bottom of the street. At this time it wasn't super windy but we sure saw the effects. In the back yard the shed thing had missing shingles and as we were walking down the street to pick up the trash can we saw our kiddy pool in the front yard of the house aprox. 3 houses down. Well I went into the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake for my apprenticeship since they had power and Sky wanted to go up to the Hill Air Force Base since he has his Military card and can!! Well I was talking to Becky while I was up there and heard how I-15 was constantly being closed to pick up tipped over semi-trucks and what not.

Well after I put in my hours Skyeler told me that everyone was going over to Will and Becky's since they had power. Well we had dinner there and had some great conversation and dinner and around 10 ish we decided that we needed to head home and find out the status on our power. We got home and well didn't have power and so we had to go around with flashlights etc... To me it felt like we were camping in style so it wasn't a huge deal. Just an inconvenience since I had a paper due the next night and Saturday night and I really wouldn't have a chance to do them because of the power. Lucky me they gave those without power an extension YAY! Well we had some pie and went to bed and our power came back on around 2:30 am.

That is the extent of our power outage.... But here are some pics of around the neighborhood.









Yesterday when Skyeler and I got home from some Christmas shopping Mollie and Kandie were talking about how the top of a tree fell on Charlie and Megan's house and punctured a hole in it. Long story short we went over there and this is what we found.







It is CRAZY what this wind did and I am very glad that we didn't have extreme damage and just a little inconvenience from the lack of power. I am also glad that nobody got hurt. Well I hope you enjoyed the excitement that we had.
