Wicked late winter / early spring weather

We had a line of severe thunderstorms move through last evening. A lot of lightning, wind, and small hail here. They had baseball sized hail to our south that’s kinda rare.
Son was tending to the chickens and spotted some tracks in the mud. The land owners around us run cattle and I guess they got spooked in the storm. They leave some big hoof marks! Looks like it was only a couple. I tracked them across our land to a section of fence that got torn down. So at least they got home. We have to get a new post to fix that. I saw a lightning bolt during the storm and today I see this. Not sure if lighting hit the tree or if it was just wind. The heavy rain sure flattened out my freshly plowed garden!
Only other damage I found is our washed out driveway. I decided to go out tonight and fix it with the 446.
I must say I’m very pleased with how it’s working. And the tires chains have really made this a useful tractor!
Much more pulling and pushing ability now! I guess I’ll have to check our roof in the daylight and the rest of the land to make sure we don’t have any more damage.
@RoamingGnome this tractor has the original lights with the glass lenses. I think they still put out good light but I bet your new LED lights are phenomenal!
