No Tornado Damage

Two days after the big storm I traveled to Riverbend to see if there was tree damage. Fortunately, we had no visible damage. Of course it is possible that trees away from the road and not visible could have been damaged. The main damage was to areas closer to Sanford, about 10 miles away. Dogwood blossoms have mostly dropped although an occasional blooming dogwood can be spotted in low lying areas that have been cooler.

I stopped at a roadside vendor for “rough cut lumber” near the intersection of Plank road and Hwy 421. Mr Bob Greathouse runs a small mill and works independently. He cuts one or two logs at a time and no job is too small. He takes on small and special projects at $20 per hour. He lives on site, and can be reached at 919-898-4115.
