April Storm



While we were in Oklahoma, dodging storms, Beamsville experienced its own storm of sorts. It was not deemed a tornado but straight winds of 124 km per hour. Many trees were uprooted, shingles were blown off roofs and fences were blown down.

After we got home I went for my morning walk. I was walking my usual path, not paying a lot of attention to the area ahead of me when all of a sudden I see a tree blocking the entire path. I said, either out loud or in my mind "whoa". Thankfully it was at an area where I could go down another path and didn't have to go all the way back to get home.
