Finally the worst of the storm is over. That was a heck of storm. Once again Mother Nature showed us
what she's capable of. I was in work when the worst storm came. It was pretty scary. It blow already 5 am when
I went to work and all of the street lights was dark and most of the houses was without electric. The worst
storm or maybe we can call it hurricane Eino (they gave a name to this storm it was so hard storm) came around 7 am
and around 8 am I and my co worker had to go out and put stuff in a shelter. Cause they started to fly around and could have
been dangerous, Eino also broke our car washer system in work and trash flied around. Four of our trash cans almost flied away so I and my co
worker had to go middle of the worst storm outside and put them in a shelter. I called my mom and asked if things where OK. Here home
my parents had been without power for almost 7 h when it finally came back. Trees have fallen on the roads, so many is still without
power and can be for many days. When I drove home from work I saw all damage Eino had done, with the trees and yards and stuff
had flown everywhere. I had to drove careful home. No deaths or injured have confirmed so I guess all people have been safe.
My work day was busy thanks to the storm. Here are few picture what Eino did.

We didn't get a tornado, but a big strip of metal got ripped off my neighbours roof about 1 in the morning. It kept banging against the brick wall. Finally around 2:30-3 ish he went out with a hammer and stabilized it a bit. It still banged, but not as much....and I was exhausted enough to get some sleep.

Windy (25-30 knot) until 1 pm they say...snow cover, blowing snow...nasty roads...temp around 28F a degree or two below zero on the Celsius scale. Was going to try working today, picked up some boards @Out of Order at the lumber yard and the lock on the gate into the yard was frozen shut...so I had to climb the rack to the top shelf and pull loose some frozen boards @Out of Order (is that how the tag works?)...put them on the ladder rack and strap them down...they kept sliding around as each had a skim of ice on them. The heck with this I say to myself...and since I was already loaded for deer hunting I figured to take a ride out Point Mills and pretend if nothing else.

More than a few trees down over the road...white birch...white birch rots from the inside out and all that is left often is the outer white shell of white birch bark and someone had already cleared most of the intact material...just enough to pass through (seasonal road)...then, I walk in to my tree stand (no, I wasn't going to climb it or spend time there) to check my game camera I've attached to a small maple...and a larger maple, maybe a 14" base snapped there and fell toward the 20' wooden ladder I've got leaning against a hemlock. The larger maple took out a couple smaller trees on its descent, the tips of the top branches inches away from the base of my ladder. Good thing I wasn't in my stand as I think I might have jumped...that, or stepped off onto a branch, the hemlock between me and the falling maple. I hope the hemlock holds.
