Sunday night around 10pm, a severe wind storm blew through the neighborhood. It knocked down the tree in my front yard and all the electrical lines in the field across from my house. I could feel the whole house shaking. Downed power lines blocked off the road for several hours and there was no power until 3am. At one point the next day, there were 14 trucks in the field across from my house resetting the power poles.
On April 18, there was a 5.2 earthquake followed by a 4.5 after shock the next day. So in the last 2 months, I have survived an earthquake and a wind storm. If this is all to prepare me for the challenges of traveling to Kaz, then I am ready!
This is the view from my front yard of the trucks repairing the railroad crossing lights and resetting one of the poles. While it wasn't a tornado (straight line winds is the term they used), you could follow the path of destruction that was about an 1/8 of a mile wide as it came from across the field, past my house and through the neighborhood.
