Wilma: Back Yard
The back of the house and the "dog yard". Beyond that are
the paddocks (see other album).
Back yard is full of
branches
Tree is stripped pretty
bare
Pile of branches
Tree fell down on
fence
Back of house
Back of house and
shed
Looking the other
direction... branches blown into space between house
and sheds!
Minor gutter damage...
limb BARELY missed house!
Back door and gutter
damage
Big tree in middle of
back yard... that line is a swing that is now wrapped
around the top
This used to be a
yard
More piles of downed
branches
Minor shingle damage, SE
corner
Grass was mostly dead by
the time we got all this out
Took several guys
working for weeks to clear all the trees &
branches out
Major sections of back
yard are impassable
All told, 80+ trees down
and branches from many more
It goes on and on...
Used to be a solid wall
of trees in this direction, now most are gone
Big limb wedged in
crotch of tree
Couldn't get to back
door or remove many shutters
View out over kitchen
sink (none, can't get shutters off!)
Very sad
The whole area looked
like this, everywhere. Our town was one of the
hardest hit on the east coast
...
Big swamp-type tree has
top stripped bare, but it came back very quickly
Stiuff got blown in to
this corner and piled up. The left white shed was
anchored down but got knocked off it's
foundation.
The city "bulk trash"
guy said they expected to handle about 4 times as
much volume as they did in Andrew
