Ox in the Mire

     I showed up to choir practice today and the other ward was going home. Turns out that the stake was just asking us to have 1 hour meetings - Sacrament and an update and testimony from the bishop.  It turns out that 1/3 of the stake still doesn't have power and our ward only got heat in the chapel.  We are also under high wind warning for tonight.  They urged us to go home and eat and then all meet to clean up all the debris.  All the chainsaws working so hard yesterday meant that there are now more projectiles sitting out on everyone's curb.  The Davis County land fill has opened up for the day and the National Guard has been called out to help with the clean-up so everyone is clearing and preparing in case the power goes off again.
     Most of the work in our neighborhood is done now although they are over there sticking plywood onto the Snyder's roof where he has a hole.  I hope that will hold up for him tonight.  The Davis County Sheriff's office had a short video of the debris flying around Farmington on their Facebook page.  It's only 6 seconds but gives an idea of all the junk that is out there.

At least it wasn't like a hurricane with lots of water damage too.  And Br. Stettler was saying that in 1983 a wind blew down all the big metal power towers.  There were a lot of people without power for a long time on that one.  So all in all, not bad. They even fixed our furnace yesterday and now I'm going to charge my cellphone just in case...
