I took some pictures a few weeks ago of the dogwoods and azaleas before the storms blew through. I thought I would share them with you this week!

I hope everyone is staying safe with the unsettled weather we have had lately!

At 6:02 on Saturday morning, a tornado, vortex of 110-mph winds, began wailing into a near-three-mile-long strip of northwest Macon. Its swath measured 500 or so yards across at its widest. We were within a mile of it but had no damage at our house.

From just north of Wesleyan College it raced, through tree-lined neighborhoods, across Forest Hill Road and on over in back of a movie house off Northside Drive and a motel on Riverside Drive. Along the way, it ate up some 200 trees.

Four houses were wiped out. Twenty-one others were damaged. The National Weather Service deemed the messes at 10 of the dwellings as “major.”

Many cars were damaged as well. My son’s girlfriend’s car had a tree land on it (but she and her family were okay).

I took these pictures a couple weeks ago. The wisteria grows everywhere and I love it! It is one of the signs that Spring is definitely here!

Everyone that travels I-75 South through Central Georgia is familiar with “Big Peach” just north of exit 149 on the east side of the interstate in Byron, Georgia.

Thunderstorms and high winds tore through the area early this morning and took the giant peach down. To be honest, I never really paid it much attention but I think I will notice that it is missing. I hope that someone puts it back up. Going to and through Byron won’t be the same without it.
