Day 107 (Sunday, April 17th, 2011)


We got up at 4am on Sunday and got on the road back to NC by 4:30. Gus did really well on the drive and slept for six hours. He had a lot of catching up to do since he didn't really nap while we were in MI. Here are some pictures of him:



When we got to Holly Springs we were amazed at the destruction from the tornado. We have friends that took pictures and posted them on Facebook, and here are their pictures: (Thanks to Katie and Amie for their pictures)
Entire trees ripped out of the ground (this is across from our second entrance to Holly Glen)

Gutters and siding damage

Damage to windows


The playground at Holly Grove Elementary (right down the street from us)

The horse farm on Avent Ferry

Horse farm again

The garage door is missing off this one...

All of the siding ripped off this house

The playground again

The powerline right down the street from us




There was a house here...
Thankfully our house had power and no damage whatsoever. Our grill was in the same place that we left it, and the mulch and pine straw that Steve put down last week was still there.

We are very lucky.
