Well, we finally got some rain, but it came in the form of some very severe storms that threw 60 MPH straight-line winds directly at Comfort. Mary has several downed trees, including a 40-foot Hackberry that broke about in half and just missed her house.
Other houses in Comfort were not as fortunate, including one lovingly renovated 1880’s home that appears to have been completely destroyed by a large Pecan tree that fell squarely on the roof.
We spent yesterday helping to clean up what we could, but some of the work is too dangerous for me to take on, so she’ll have to call in a tree service.
The good news is the three inches of rain that fell, though the creek still hasn’t started flowing again.
Twenty miles southwest, we in Boerne has less rain but also far less wind, so our house was unaffected. We’ll be going back to the farm today to see what else needs to be done.
Goodness! Be careful what you wish for!
