We have numerous places where very large trees have fallen on the fences and ruined them. They are in need of repair before we can put animals back in them.  We had to put all the donkeys and hogs and goats in just two fields so they could get to the pond.  We were without electricity for 2 days and without water until just a few minutes ago.  We FINALLY got water flowing. Hope it stays on . The livestock had to fend for themselves with the ponds for water.  We lost two goats. It looks like a tornado came through he uprooting very very large healthy trees and breaking off huge branches right beside the house and through the woods as far as we can see. It is going to take us months of weekends to clean it up.

Tree across fence

This patch of woods that is fenced in looked like a park before the ice storm. There was no brush or anything on the ground, all clear ground and just nice big trees.  You can see where so many have fallen and/or broken off.
