Blair standing next to large fallen tree in park
broken pear tree

Sunny morning, then some rain, then suddenly I can’t see out my studio window but when I can everything is SLANTED!

Now I lived through a tornado as a child and this felt chillingly similar.

It was only a matter of minutes and the power went off (which is always accompanied by an annoying alarm siren).

Once the storm cleared we all emerged from our various studios to examine the damage. Folks wandered around with their cell phones as cameras like we had just experienced an episode of The Walking Dead.

I’ve always loved the view out my Studio 1 window, but alas the storm took out half of the beautiful ornamental pear tree that graces us with its blooms every spring.

But in all the destruction the one thing that was happily untouched...

the carousel.
