This is the big windstorm that happened on Sunday. Just north of us a little ways there was a huge pinetree that blew over into some power lines and a few other lines that went down too. Our power was out from 0230 in the morning until 4pm at night!!! Joe is the Emergency Manager for Willard City and we're also both fire dept members. Cert was coordinated with the Fire Dept and Emergency Management. There were a bunch of volunteers who spent all day long cutting up the trees, hauling off the wood and limbs, and cleaning up the debris and peoples yards whose trees were blocking. They ended up ordering pizza to feed everyone and shuttling around waters. Here are a bunch of pictures!! Enjoy!
