Last Wednesday, the biggest storm to ever hit the DC area hit while Hannah and I were out shopping. We were "trapped" at Whole Foods while a tremendous storm blew through, knocking down trees and power lines. Roads were closed everywhere for days as crews tried to clean up fallen trees, many homes had trees that had fallen on them, and power was out for days in the hot, humid 95 degree weather. The boys were calling us with reports of how many trees had fallen on our lot (around 10) but thankfully, none of them hit our house. Two of them smashed into our fences...
This is the view of our backyard after the patio crew abandoned everything and ran to their cars for shelter!
This is one of the smaller trees we lost...
This home in our neighborhood was one of several that had a tree fall right on it! It was just a shocking, awe-filled experience to drive around and see the damage that occurred.
We were reminded of the awesome power of God, and it put into perspective what really matters. We were all okay, and so was our home. We have many huge trees that could have fallen on our house. We are very grateful for God's protection over every detail of our lives.
