Wizard of Oz....Sorta

Evan got called out on a power outage around 1:15 this afternoon.  He finally got home around 2:30 and was just eating lunch when he got another 6 calls for power outages.  The reason for all the calls........we had some pretty high winds traveling through here today.  On the first call, the wind blew a tree over the power lines and for the others, I haven't heard yet.  It is 8:24pm and he still isn't home.  Just to give you an idea of the wind, see the pine cone in the plant below?  Well, in the next picture, you can see where the pine cone came from.  You can't tell it in the picture, but the lawn is covered in pine cones, some even going past the porch.  We watched them out the window and they were actually flyling that far.  I'm surprised that I even have a plant left between the wind and the deer.  Evan just walked in the door and we counted the calls that came in and he had 31 calls, not counting all the missed calls while he was on line taking other calls.  Busy day.
