Hope everyone in the path of the thunderstorms today made it through unscathed! 3/4” hail here with very strong winds and sideways rain, but no casualties -
Im SE MA as well... Rolled through my street, in and out in 5 minutes but damn that was a crazy 5 minutes.
Had some unrelated damage... After having the fire dept. show up and say dont walk around the front yard... Now looks like Im going to bed with a 500 lb branch hanging about 10 feet above the ground just weighing down a power line that is strung across a major road... This picture looks like theres a tree crew working... There isnt... hes just waiting for someone to pull out of a driveway and happen to be in the picture... The whole town got hit and branches everywhere, I luckily lost power for a couple hours but still no internet so using hot spot...
Heres some of the damage..
Now for the silver lining:
Everyone was okay..
Plants were okay.. (These are the moments I prepare so much for, glad it pays off...Ive come to expect multiple storms like this per year...)
No damage to house..
Third picture, theres usually a car parked there 9 times out of 10, happen to be grocery shopping and parked on lawn out back to bring groceries just before this.
My crop is surrounded by old ass trees, hundreds of years old, really tall, a lot are probably rotten, I was expecting a massive tree to come down on the plot, especially because there are two right near there that are dead and already leaning in that direction... But heres the best part (Hopefully... We'll find out tomorrow morning..)
Heres a picture from August 1st, This is my Easterly facing woods where the sun would be blocked in the mornings which always sucked..
