No, fortunately the house suffered minor damage considering it's age and what others went through. Tihis house is 109 years old and fared better than 10 year old and 40 year old homes. The South side was hit by two trees and the back utility room had one on it too. What probably saved the house was the woods out back, they are gone 40 of 42 trees wiped out! Trees from the back yard were on the road 240 feet from where they were! The garage was destroyed and yet my trucks got very little damage, one none. The dogs were in the house and OK, good thing they were inside as their pen was destroyed. Yes, I'm hoping 2009 is a better year! I actually went to the doctors thinking I had the flu, not a heart attack, 3 stents later I'm OK and back to work now shooting sports and news for the local paper.
