We went up to Honeyville on Saturday morning for a quick visit. During the night the wind started blowing extremely hard. If you've ever slept in the upstairs at my parents, you'll know that the windows are old. It felt like we were having a mini hurricane inside our bedroom!! (Okay...maybe not quite that bad!) When we got up Sunday morning, I looked out the window and noticed that the shop door was hanging funny. My mom came and looked and noticed that the old dead tree was on top of the shop and shed. (Not sure why I saw the door, but not the HUMONGOUS tree.) She called my dad, who was already at the church for bishopric meetings, and he came home to survey the damage. With the help of many strong, able, and freezing men, (and about 8 hours) they were able to finally get the tree off of the buildings with only some minor roof damage and a slightly leaning shop. It was pretty funny to see all the people who stopped by and the phone calls that came in seeing if everything was okay. Needless to say, my parents have lots of firewood for the winter months now! The pictures sort of show the progress the tree made as they tried to slide it, pull it, tip it, & chop it!
