The Wind Storm 2011

WE SURVIVED THE WINDSTORM OF 2011! This was unbelievable, winds were up to 92 mph in West Bountiful and 102 mph in Centerville. I could not believe the amount of damage it had caused, it was as if a small tornado had come through Davis County! Early estimates on ksl.com are estimating $8 million worth of damage to Centerville alone. 
The winds started very early, around 5 am, on December 1st. We woke up to things hitting our windows and garbage cans tumbling around our yard. Luckily we were blessed and had no damage to our house. Our neighborhood however was not as lucky. Fences were gone, shingles were off, trees were completely blown over, and the house under construction across the street from us lost half of their newly installed hardie board. 
We ended up with 4 extra garbage cans and a port-o-potty in our yard, we also were without power for almost 24 hours! We spent the night at my parents house in Centerville, somehow their little square of a neighborhood did not lose power at all! Here are some pictures from the big day!

 This is in Walmart parking lot! Almost all of their cart returns were mangled


The next photos are from ksl.com, these were photos that people had sent in all over Davis County!
