Storm

So, we had a pretty significant storm roll through our area. Here are some pictures of the damage that was caused by trees falling over on our neighbor's stuff. Luckily, we seemed to be the only house on our block with large trees that hadn't fallen over. This picture is of our neighbor's house two houses south of us. It seemed that every tree in their yard had fallen over except one, and two of them had fallen onto their house. They also had their phone lines ripped out of their house from the trees falling on them.
This is just the top third of a very large pine tree (large by ND standards) that had snapped off and fallen onto some guys car across the street from us. It broke out all of his back windows and had flattened the roof of the back half of the car. By the time I had taken this picture, they had taken the very top off of the car already.
This is our front yard. Just a lot of smaller branches all over the place. I've been hearing of trees and power lines down all over Fargo. Good thing we are still safe!
