chrissymunderWhy no, it's our outdoor shed floating free over the West Coast of Michigan!
We've been enthralled by the high winds here at home. Luckily, not bad enough to do any real damage other than some power outages, downed tree limbs, and missing trash cans. But we couldn't help but wonder what things were like on the West Side of the state and Lake Michigan.
Last night's phone call from our next-door neighbor up there let us know. The winds hsve been quite severe. They ripped our metal shed off the foundation and sent it careening away. No damage to our cottage and the rest of the neighbors are fine. But one had a tree fell on his car. A fact that will make his mother-in-law quite happy and set him up for months of "I told you so". She's been nagging him to cut those tree branches for the last couple of years. :)
We'll head up this weekend to take a look and see if anything is salvagable. But it's funny, as the years go by it's easier to just shrug and say it's only things and not get upset as long as those we care about are safe.
