Shingles, fencing, newspapers, and even a book order were flying everywhere. At about 6:30 the wind was so bad that it sounded like someone was stomping in the middle of my room. I went downstairs after my shower and watched everything fly around outside while I ate my breakfast. We listened to the radio waiting for someone to tell us that our school was canceled (yes, it was that bad.) No one said that school was out by the time that it was time to leave, so we went to school.
Brighton got to school and in 3rd period, the power went out so he had to come home. I went to school. There were trees that had fallen over on the road and a power line was hanging over the road, the power went out twice in school but we never got to come back home until school was out.
When we got home after school the power was out so we went to the store to do some errands. The store had power so we ate there. After eating, we went back home where the power was still out. My dad turned on the generator into a little heater and the DVR so that we could watch watch a movie. The power came back on for us at about 8:30.
The next day there was no wind and they canceled school so that we could clean up. We fixed our fence that broke down so that Coal could go outside again. We also cleaned up a bunch of leaves that flew into our flower beds and got tangled in the plants. We didn't get it all because we would get scratched by the plants.
Now Coal can go outside by himself because the fence is back up. The wind is fine and we still haven't gotten snow, which is really weird for Utah. I am so happy that the wind didn't come back and that we were able to fix the damage. Only fifteen more days until Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
