I live in a tornado and severe storm area of Texas. When you couple that with living in a rural area it often means surviving long periods without having electricity. And that's exactly how life has been since about 2:30 in the morning.
We had a loud and strong storm with straight line winds come roaring through East Texas, which created a lot of mess. We have down power lines and huge trees that buckled under the force of the wind. The storm also carried a bunch of rain that it dropped on us at once, so the ground is a sopping mess as well.
After powerful storms we have to check for damage to the barn or animal fencing, so I tracked around the 50 acre perimeter looking for problem areas. I could hear the roar of the neighbor's chainsaw tackling their own disasters.
Thank goodness I only had 2 trees down on the fence. My husband spent a few hours with his chainsaw cleaning up the tangled branches and repairing the fence. We were blessed not to have any cattle escape the pasture due to toppled fences.

The video below shows how to temporarily fix a down fence in an emergency.
