Storm Damage in Cut & Shoot, TX

After hearing the news that storms had damaged property along FM 1485
in Cut & Shoot, we decided this morning that we had better go check on our property.

There trees down all along FM1485 from Hwy 105 to the Chrystal Creek Bridge.
This is across FM 1485 from our property

There is no electric in the area and many power poles are down.
We were very lucky, other than alot of branches there is no
damage at our property. This is the corner of our road.
As you can see we will not have power for awhile.
We cleaned out the refrigerator and freezer
and took a ride up to Wolf Creek Park
