Today is a holiday, so I am home. It is insanely windy here, they’re estimating 50mph winds, and stronger winds as the day goes on. Around 12pm, I heard a “noise” and when I looked out the back window, this is what greeted me:

Big tree falls down onto…

Yargh.

I can’t tell what other damage occured. Called my insurance company, and they’re going to send someone out. In the meanwhile, I can’t let the car sit like that, and I had to chop the tree up as best as I could. Three hours later…

The other car is my mother’s car. She was at work when this happened, which is a good thing. Otherwise the entire tree would have fallen right on top of her car, and would have done a whole lot more damage. Luckily, my Mustang was not hit by the tree.

edit: I had forgotten about this, I was amazed by the change in the weather, so I took a picture about 9am this morning. I guess you could call this “before the storm”. If you look for the birdfeeder, on the left edge, in the corner, see the tree directly behind it? that is the tree that fell.

I also just looked at the news, apparently a few people have died, due to trees falling on them, so I’m feeling bad about complaining about the broken windshield.
