It was reported in the news yesterday that over 100 ducks and geese were killed during Tuesday night's storm in central Indiana. The ducks and geese that lived in a neighborhood pond, were found littering the nearby yards. One was even blown through the window of a house.

This is the same storm that blew down Lisa's pine tree. There were 100 mph straight line winds in the Avon area where this destruction took place. I don't believe that I've ever heard of that many, really any, ducks or geese being killed in a storm before. Maybe it happens all the time and this time it's news worthy because of the sheer number killed. I just couldn't imagine looking out after a storm and seeing the ducks and geese from our pond littering my lawn. How awful.
