Well, I started off for the gym and there was an in coming thunder storm and to had not started raining yet but the thunder was really loud and rattling the house, so I made it to the gym and a little while it started to rain and boy did it come down and I'm 11 miles from home and I can hear the thunder but it's good ways off.
So I'm doing my workout for Friday (leg day) and I'm one hour into it and one of the girls at the front desk approaches me and tells me I need to call home.
I don't not carry the cell phone around with me everywhere like most people so out to the car get the cell phone out and call home and wife is telling me a serious storm just hit the area and I'm like well I seen the rain come down hard and she went into detail about the 70 to 80 miles per hour winds just hit the house and surrounding area and one of our friends needs our help as a tree just fell on her van and a few other trees had blown over too.
So home I go and it's slow going thinking someone was not watching where they are going and had a fender bender but it turns out to be a tree fell over into the road and the closer I get to home the worse things are looking limbs and leaves in the road and even washouts putting piles of dead leaves and rocks and mud in the road.
I can run and operate a chainsaw but I'm not as fast as I use to be and I have to stop and give my hip a rest and I really have to watch where I'm stepping so I don't fall over, but what a mess I have found that I have trees out back (wood lot) that blew over and I'm going to have a good deal of firewood its just going to take me a while to cut it haul it off and all the other process that it takes.
