The branches were just long enough to touch the house with the very tips of it's leaves. Another foot of growth would have poked out my bedroom windows! WHEW!!!

Here's the tree trunk split...



After some clean up...




And after Rick came over to help me bring down the rest...


Was it that monday night storm? I was driving home from work when it hit my area. I could barely see out of the windshied, the road nearly dissapeared under water and the wind kept knocking me around! I was driving and it hit me like a wall. First no rain and then a wall of rain!
