We got my Honda generator going to run the reefer and deep freeze anyway. Could have been much worse and no one was hurt.

Man that is bad news.  I sure hope they get you up and running soon.  Good thing you have the generator.  We just have a Honda 2000 but still nice knowing we have it if we need it.

The Honda 2000 is what we have also. Sucks about your brother's grain bin. Mother nature is a tuff SOB.

Mone is a Honda 5000. It runs the essentials. Likes to eat gas but purred like a kitten for a day. 4 power poles were replaced. Got powered back about 8 pm.

So hard to believe that winds can bend up a round structurally strong thing like a grain bin.

It was crazy and noisy. Lots of tree damage in our windbreak. I'll wait till fall to start in there.

What a mess roony. Glad to hear you got power back on finally. My haircutter told me she'd had a guy in from east of Otisco who just got power back on last nite too.

More rain likely tonite altho the amounts forecast aren't expected to be much. Famous last words.  :coffee:

Yes it is chilly out today. We are getting little craps of mist/rain. But not adding up to anything.

We just had a pretty steady straight down rain.  Less than 1/4".  That is the least I can measure with my sophisticated system.  LOL

Had a couple showers roll through here in the last hour. Nothing to measure, I'm sure.
