Puzzle Description:

"Holy hurricanes Batman"...we had a minnie hurricane rear it's ugly head the other day. The wind picked up my gazebo and threw it from the side yard to the front yard. I kind of like it's new location,too bad it got trashed in the process. It also picked up the portable garage and threw it against one of the big trees. It didn't even leave a mark on the old Dodge. I simply started the old Dodge and parked it in the garage at it's new location. I'm not so fond of this spot however,so i think i'll move the garage back where it was. What your seeing here is old man wind at top left,blowing my gazebo and garage into a tree with a broken limb,two lightning bolts at top and the old Dodge at bottom right. I put this in reverse image for solvability.

I'm sorry you had all that happen to you! Hopefully it won't happen again in the near future!

I just finished moving the garage back Skippy,and it just needs minor repairs,i'm going to work on the gazebo right now,but it does not look good. It may need Niki's magic touch,lol.:)

Oh dear! Anchoring freestanding structures into concrete helps. I would argue in favor of keeping the Dodge in the main garage, and parking a different, sturdier car in the portable one.

Horrible. Are you and your family OK?

thank goodness the dodge survived :)
oh...nice reverse image

I wish i could do that Kristen,but the main garage which is actually a large shed is too small. My intention is too put an addition on to it to make it longer,and then put a proper overhead door on it. The old Dodge is one long car. I tried to anchor the garage to the chipstone,but it's very hard to screw the anchors in it and i only had one in when the big wind came,lol.:)

Thx for your concern Norma,were all just fine and the only real damage was a tear in the roof of the garage,which i can repair,and i have a good idea to build a wood gazebo instead,so like always,there's always a rainbow at the end of each tunnel.:)

No kidding Tom,i feared the worst and i couldn't believe the old Dodge was spared from damage.:)

thankfully everyone and the old dodge are ok :)
after reading your description, it reminded me of the scene in the wizard of oz, after the flying monkeys attacked them in the forest and the scarecrow was lying there saying, they tore my legs off and threw them over there and then they took my chest out and threw it over there

the reverse image works well for a storm--it enhances the mood. nice puzzle.

Oh my gosh, Aldege! I'm so glad your storm was not any worse than this.

The puzzle is great. The inverse image was a good idea. I couldn't see what everything was, but after reading your description, it all came into plain view.

Thx Teresa,even with the description,when i look at it now,it seems like it would be hard to make it out,lol.:)
