Saw 70 mile per hour winds and torrential rains today. I was at the back window fretting about the hives because I couldn't see them 35 yards away. Watched heavy lawn chairs doing endo's and sailing by, the canoe took a trip out to the road. My monster grill of about 300 lbs. rolled about 10 ft. My son opened the front door which was on the leeward side of the wind only to be stampeded by the 2 orphan raccoons, the cats, and one blackbird. Lost one Maple tree that just missed the house as well as some roof shingles.
But the bee hives are fine.
Just another day in Michigan. I've seen it snow in June, had near misses with tornado's and dealt with suffocating heat with 90+humidity. Not boring. We say, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minuets".
Now if the bear that raided some hives about 9 miles away in the last few days goes somewhere else, I'll be happy.
