My son complained about the banging noise. I’d not really noticed it because the plastic covering the old dining room window hole was popping back and forth in the pressure changes.
But I went out to the addition to see if I could find the banging noise and this is what I saw out the back door.
A good size limb had come off the signature white oak tree.
It apparently landed on the cemented in clothesline and bent it badly.
The section I use most is intact. The rope down is from the other end. It’s the only one that broke.
The good news is that the plastic on the Small garden survived the high winds just fine. The staples held up well along the edges.
I haven’t touched the flowerbeds and so the mugwort and the wormwood had not been tied up. The wind blew them over, on top of the peony in front. So I will have to do something about that on Wednesday.
We didn’t get much rain from this storm. It ended up tracking well west of us. There were 3 tornados in the area, but none near us.
