  • Wind Storm of June 20, 2022

    • Storm Damage

      On Monday, June 20, 2022, a gust of wind approaching 100 miles per hour blew south of Horace. Significant damage was done to St. Benedict’s Church and other areas of the property (see photo gallery below):

      • the St. Joseph window was cracked
      • the chimney collapsed
        • the bricks pierced the roof and littered the yard
        • the bricks did not damage the interior ceiling
        • the roof was covered to prevent rain damage until it can be repaired
      • shingles on the church were damaged
      • almost every tree near the church suffered damage
        • a tree limb barely missed falling on the Marian Shrine
      • the A/C compressors were blown off their concrete pads
      • one tree was uprooted in the cemetery and others suffered damaged
      • some tombs stones were shifted on their pads; one was knocked over
      • three power poles west of the cemetery were snapped and fell to the ground
      • three windows were broken
    • Our Neighbors

      All of our neighbors suffered damage to their homes. Everyone reported rushing to their basement, thinking the wind was a tornado. We were without electricity for about 3 hours. We thank God that no-one was injured.
