We've had some weather lately. (edited for spelling)

Hello, everyone.  
As mentioned,  there has been weather in the area lately.  Repeated storms, in fact, the most recent of which shredded the stacked flowerpot for the second time in a week.
There was a lot of lightning with that one, and a lot of thunder, and gusts of strong wind. We couldn't see a thing through the window screens and we weren't going to open the door into that mess just to look at it.
Potential energy, until it falls this is about the smallest hanging dead limb we saw while walking.
One of the magnificent older trees at the high school was just chewed up by the wind. 
This is the base of a big live oak tree that toppled. You can see the roots that were pulled out of the ground. Nearby there is a large pile of branches, foliage, and trunk sections. 
Many, many people have had their fences blown down. And we saw a number of roofs that were damaged. Interestingly,  none of the rooftop solar panels on various houses appears to be damaged, even if the asphalt shingles on the same house are torn loose and needing replacement. 
Behold the stack-a-plant. 3 fifths of it, anyway. This is twice in a week that storm winds tore it apart and required complete replanting. Wow.
