In the above video, the first three and one-half minutes is a condensed version of 20 minutes of listening to trees and branches break (sorry for the annoying dripping sound).
For the second time in four months, Mother Nature dealt a heavy blow to Webster County.
After recovering from the wind storm of June 29 that left many residents without power for as long as 12 days, the County braced for predictions of as much as five feet of snow.
Unfortunately, the dire predictions came true.
Many residents in lower elevations dealt with six to 12 inches of snow, but folks up on Point and McGuire Mountains were buried under the heavy, wet snow nearly five feet in depth.
On the morning of October 30, many residents awoke to what sounded like gun fire. The constant loud, popping noises were of course tree limbs and entire trees breaking over from the heavy snow.
