storm damage?

We luckily. Had two trees split off and fall away from the house and we are sitting here with no power and a small generator that is broke!

Saw lots of tree snapped off yesterday evening. As we were stuck out in it.

Also saw a pontoon boat flipped off of it's trailer at the river park in Ravenswood.

Road signs bent over, fireworks tent smashed a car at Walmart in Ripley

I have never been in a tornado, but I thought one was coming

I had two 2' diameter walnut trees in the backyard, luckily the one next to the house has no damage the other one is a total loss. Lots of trees down on my road, and lots of limbs in the yard. Have to take chainsaw next time I go riding!

Had one oak in the back yard snap off about 25' up and cleaned off the side of a hickory in front of it. Both trees are down now and stacked to be cut up for firewood. Also plenty of sticks all over the yard.

There are also some across the trails behind our house.

Storm took out to healthy tree and left the two dead ones standing.

I didn't get any damage here but we did lose power and cell service. Power came back on after about 24 hours. My dad and brother near Wallace got hit real hard. Not alot of damage to their homes but about 20 very large trees down in the yard, some where uprooted. These were not little trees either. I would say all of them were 100 years old and most were 3 to 4 feet in diameter.

I can only imagine how many trees are crossed the trails.

I wonder if the reason we have so few members on here is because hardly anyone has electric. Hope nobody got hammered too bad!!

my power is back on and boy did we get hit hard with wind damage here in wyoming county. most are still without power here. raleigh, McDowell,summers got it bad too.

actually saw people setting hours in line to buy gas at a few stations with generators running the pumps..... pretty bad here....

Thats exactly how it is here. Heck of a storm when you consider there is about 5 hours driving time between the two of us.

Clarksburg is a war zone. We still don't have power. Lucky we didn't have much damage at my house, just a bunch of limbs down. My son lost some siding off of his house and a 8 x 10 area of shingles on his roof. Alot of trees down at the farm.

We had a big oak tree miss the house by a foot and no power. They are saying it might be Friday before we get power back.

I'm glad no one has gotten hurt from these storms....

My inlaws got their power back last night so we went and got their rv and brought it to our house so we could have a/c. The kids loved camping in our driveway.

Still no power here.
generator is running non stop to keep freezer from thawing. Couple thou$$$ worth of beef! If not for that i would head to the in-laws for ac n a shower. Its crazy 30 minutes north ther is power and 5 minutes south power. Very frustrated!

You know anyone that needs a generator? My dad has a Tahoe 9000 watt generator for sale. It's brand new and he wants $3000 for it.

We got hit pretty hard here, all my under pinning was blown out and scattered all over the place plus some of my soffit from the top of the house come off and was twisted up. Linda and I was on the Little Kanahwa river when it hit and had to drive home in it and there was trees falling in front and in back of us. Man what a wild ride that was,I could've made 1 of those Jeep commercials what we went through running over trees and logs in the road and dodging all the limbs and trees falling. We got out with no damage to the Jeep. I hope everyone else on here are ok.

I have been busy today running stuff to va for people that needed supplies out of power

I lost a little siding but as far as I can tell that is all. I bought a new generator. I was up north in hancock county when the storm hit. I went to a tractor supply and there were three generators in stock and a man from wetzle county was there to buy one and said that was the closest place. I thought I better buy one and haul it home in case my old one dont start. I almost ran out of diesel fuel in marietta. I had a low fuel light and had to wait about an hour and a half and had several people try to buy the generator off the trailer. I made it home and then had to fight to get gas for the generator. My old generator did not want to run so I ended up using the new one. I am able to keep the freezer cold and my water pump running and a fan going so it could be worse but I hate like hell to spend 600 bucks that I wasnt budgeting for. Oh well I got my FR clothes washed for work tomorrow and did i mention a fan.. I hate this heat.

Yea them fr's are about rediculous to wear this time of year...

We got hit hard in North Beckley, A lot of people still without power some without water.....there were huge lines for gas, but things are getting back to normal. there are a lot of trees down here, some very old and large. A new condo development near me had the roof peeled back on one set of units it was pretty wild storm.... Luckily I put in a backup power system first of the year so we were in good shape except for rounding up the gas to run it, which i finally did......Hope everyone else is good.....

We don't have power in Crab Orchard/Sophia yet either. Waited in line at Tamarack for 45 mins Saturday morn to get gas for wife's car (and the rzr ha ha). We went riding yesterday. Probably rode 90 miles and had to chainsaw at least 5 trees and move several others.

Power has been out since Friday evening & don't sound like it will be back on until Wednesday/Thursday. We have some trees damage & alot to clean up as well. But we are safe.

sorry to hear that with these temps,yall hang in there!!!

We have a large farm and a conservative estimate is 100+ trees are down. House did OK, but garage lost half the roof. Weeks of cleanup ahead, but no injuries, and the power came back today so all is well.

Damn Steve ... let us know if you need anything ... you talking about your garage by the house?

We just got back to being fully functional!!! No damage, thank God!!!

Yep. I should have said "lost the shingles on one side of the garage, gable vents got sucked out and had just a little gutter damage". Not so bad considering the strength of the storm. If you remember the trees in the yard, there was a lot of wood flying around.

No damage at my house, just a few small limbs in the yard. 1/8 mile down the road it looks like a 747 went down, big trees laying everywhere. Overall, it doesn't look near as bad as some of the places I drove through Friday night on my way home from work. Still no power at the house though.

Couple trees down. Never lost power just cable & internet.. Sorry to here you got hit so hard finz.
