Mother Nature Hits Como Park, Again!



It is just like the Mother's Day storm a few years ago - maybe even worse. The amount of tree & home damage here in the park is heart breaking. The weather radio woke us up at around 3:30am. The storm's winds were at their worst as it came into the metro area. Our home only lost a section of fence panel - no trees on the house this time around! There is a building on the fair grounds that lost its roof - all of which ended up impaling the houses across the street on Snelling Ave. The kids are O.K., Toby is fine, but we could all use a nap.
