It Could Have Been Worse

Published 2024-07-18
We had a big thunderstorm come through our area and took some damage from straight line winds that we need to clean up now.

  • My husband was installing solar on the roof, and we had a sudden storm with high winds. I was yelling, "Get off the roof" and he was yelling, "I can't!" His hat flew away, and I realized his big ladder had blown down!😯 Thankfully, this old woman was able to set it up in the wind.😊 I wish someone had caught us on video. 😂 I'm thankful you are all good, and only some cleanup and a repair is required. Blessings to our Hollars!❤🙌
  • The cats seem to be enjoying being together and out with you more. Big Boy doesn't seem so shy. Love me some big orange kitties 😊
  • The corn will stand back up give them time, they do that. Glad you all are safe!

    Ben, you are absolutely right about the gloves. I was working as a security officer at Randolph Hospital near Randleman, NC a few years ago and one morning they brought a guy in from Richard Petty's Garage that was wearing gloves while using a lathe and it got him. After the doctors got his glove off, his 4 fingers were still in the glove, it sheared all 4 at the knuckle!

    That wood chipper was a great capital expenditure for the homestead. Happy that you are making good use of the chipper on the downed trees.

    Hello, Hollars! Ben, I enjoyed watching you chip the wood. That has to be so much fun
  • Thank you, Meg and Ben, for letting us hear you say the whole blessing before dinner this time. I was curious to see if you added in extras to your blessing to reflect what's happened to/for you during the day. It's always a pleasure to spend a little time with you all on the Hollar Homestead. Take care and God Bless.
  • Ben, I love watching you do morning chores but it's because buggy is with you. Lol. So precious how she's always by her daddy side. So blessed.

    Hello, i loved hearing all the pigs telling you about the storm! It was so funny listening to them, i had my own dialogue going on about what they were telling you! I am glad you are all okay and thank you for sharing!

    Hi there, I am glad you didn’t get much damage. We have been getting a ton of rain and storms in Ontario Canada as well. Only good thing about it is that I don’t have to water the garden, Have a great night! 😊
  • @camicri4263
    Praise God you are ok, some trees down....not such a big deal when they don' t hurt anyone or damage anything! Blessings! Hugs to you all!

    I love seeing Millie and The Sketch leading the way! In Toronto we had big flooding in the West side of the GTA ( Greater Toronto Area). Power outages, huge flooding, public transit shut down, roads flooded over, people trapped on car rooves. The Food Bank lost $50000.00 due to a flooded storage basement. This has all happened before. Toronto has terrible flood management. I live in the East end, Scarborough. This end of the city is the older, poorer end. But! It's built on higher ground! So we have very little flood trouble.

    Pigs are thankful you made it through the storm, you bringing some grub! Love the chipper!
  • @mspeedie52
    Sounds like you got what is called a plow wind. A plow wind is basically what you call a straight line wind.

    Speaking for myself and probably 99% of your subscribers, put the videos out when you can and we will continue to enjoy watching them. You are probably my favourite YouTube family. I will watch and be happy. And yes, I'm from Canada so I spelled "favourite" correctly for my country even if it's not how you 'Mercans spell it.🙂😉
