Tim and I were jolted awake the other day by a sound we couldn't actually remember but it had us sitting bolt upright at 4am. When we got up to investigate, it was too dark to see much. We only heard the gusting wind as it rushed past our windows at 40 mph. When we got up in the morning, we saw the source of the giant crash. Roof, meet trees.
Tim swears that a tornado touched down which caused the tree to be ripped out of the ground, but I can't find any mention of a tornado in any local weather reports.
Thanks to Tim staying home to make a dozen phone calls to roofers, the electric company, and tree folks, the roof is patched, the tree is cut down and chopped into neat pieces for firewood. This home ownership stuff is a blast. :)
Yikes!!!
ReplyDeleteOn our wedding night a massive tree, just outside of our room, split right down the middle from the wind. We weren't sure if it was a good or bad omen but our friends teased us mercilessly that our "night of passion" had caused it.
