We’re okay…but our stuff is not!

By Heather

We just had a heavy rainstorm come through in South Jersey, and I believe a mini tornado was part of it.  Or something like it.  I saw my cast iron patio furniture and brand new grill fly and I almost woke my daughter from her nap to go into the basement…and then it was over like that.

It’s okay…it’s just stuff.

I am still not done picking it all up.

I’ll be starting back at square one with my composting.

That’s our brand new grill on the ground.

This was Emma’s playhouse…the wind ripped the wood apart.

Thank God we are safe…and also for home owner’s insurance.

    Wow! That must have been scarey while it was happening! Glad you have home owner’s insurance and hopefully Emma will have something to replace her playhouse!

      That’s heartbreaking Lisa. So happy you and yours made out okay. A car is more stuff, though more valuable than our “stuff” I’m sure.

    Oh, how awful! I’m glad you all are ok, but I’ve never seen such damage like that in our area! Especially a flipped table and grill!

      Isn’t it insane?! I hope the insurance covers some of it!

        I can’t remember that kind of weather coming through PA recently. Crazy!
