My fears were not unfounded

We were very fortunate that our cottage escaped major damage in the recent wind storm that struck the lake. Others were not as fortunate. In addition to our neighbour's docks that went walkabout, there were trees down around the island.

This is a poplar tree from up by our firepit. It was already dead, so no big loss, and we were lucky that it fell away from the buildings.

This other cottage was not as lucky. Their boat house took a beating when a big tree fell on it. I hope they can repair the damage without too much effort.

From what I've heard, the north shore of the lake got hit much harder than the island did.
