Yesterday afternoon, after I shot a small local morning wedding. I went to have a late lunch at the restaurant across the lake. It is only a mile if I walk from the house so sometimes I do that. The temp was only around 90 and the wind was blowing so it was no big deal to walk.
While I was eating and having a few cold ones on the deck outside, my cell phone rang and it was one of my brides calling with some changes she wanted to make to her album that I had posted on line for her to see. I told her that I would go home and do them and send her a proof in a few hours. So I left lunch early and walked on home to start on the 3 changes that she wanted. Now if she had not called, I would have had desert and another beer and then walked home 15 min later. It takes about 20 min to walk home and as I walked up my driveway, the wind started to pick up and I felt a very cold rush of air. Within the next 2 minuets I lost 8 trees in my backyard . My garage was filled with limbs and parts of lawn furniture and several windows were smashed. If my bride had not called, I would have been walking home in all of that. And from seeing all of the damage along the trail I used to get home. I might not have made it. Thanks for the call Mary Ann.

Glad you're okay. I was in Memphis for 2 weeks, with temps of 104-106 almost every day, and not a cloud in sight!
Good luck with the cleanup!
Wow.. That is insane... It always pays to answer the phone, no matter what type of drink is in your hand... Look like serious storm damage...

Sometimes God works in mysterious ways.....
I have been to your site several times..it is amazing. I was wondering, are you going to be at Imaging USA in Tampa this year? This will be the first time that several of us Indiana photographers are going. I am so excited and would love to meet you if you are there.
I will be at Imaging USA. I am not presenting a class, but I will be there. Call me on my cell at 770-355-9644.
Lets set up a dinner or lunch. I may have a booth at the trade show, but that is not final yet.
