Last evening a powerful thunderstorm hit the area and the power went out for 4-hours. Fortunately the generator handled it without any problems and I could hear several other standby generators running in the neighborhood.
The yard is a mess today. Having so many trees is normally great but they can be messy whenever strong winds blow through. Dead branches and leaves are scattered everywhere. There’s even a tree down in the very front of the property near the road. I definitely need to find a place on the property where I can burn brush piles safely.
