Hurricane Force Winds

One day this week, we had wind gusts up to 66 mph! We usually get a lot of wind during the spring and have had some strong winds in the past, but I don't remember them being that bad. One of the kids toys took an unexpected trip across the backyard, but was quickly saved. We also had a few of our shingles that became "untacked"--for lack of a better description. And of course, they are at the highest peak of the house. Thanks to a neighbor for calling us to report it.

Daddy's ladder is not tall enough to reach, so we are enlising some friend's help. I am so thankful for our great friends (the same ones that helped me shovel a few weeks ago.) Hopefully with their help we can get it fixed eaisly. I also didn't want to be the one to hold the bottom of the ladder. I'd blow away too.
Here are some pictures of the shingles--just for my memories sake too.
