hurricane with no name

The storm hit Phoenix on Thursday night. It was fierce - with wind, rain and hail. In the morning, we found that the only damage we sustained was a few broken limbs off a tree. But some neighborhoods faired far worse.

Our friend, Jamie, emailed us and others in our (Irreverent Thinkers) group that she was kept up all night long by the storm. She had no electricity, a fence and a tree fell over and one large branch broke from a tree in the front yard. Her neighborhood looked like a hurricane came through it.

On Saturday morning some of us went over to Jamie's to help with the clean up. Here are some pictures:

When I said, "Good fences make good neighbors," Jeannette replied, "Good neighbors make good fences."

Wow! It looks worse than I even pictured. As a single woman living on my own I can imagine what Jamie must have felt. It's so great that your discussion group is also such a community support system!
