Storm with 71 mph wind
28 August 2007 by Two Crazy DogsDB and I slept right through the storm that rolled in at 3 a.m. Apparently there were super loud thunder and great lightning show out there. I didn’t hear a thing and didn’t even know the electricity went out.
I didn’t go for my morning walk coz it was so darn humid. DB took the trash cans out as it’s trash day today. Drove his truck out and came back in to the garage. I thought he forgot something. He rolled the passenger window down and told me the tree on the front yard fell. I walked out to the yard and saw nothing as it was still pitch dark. He backed up his truck and faced the direction of the fallen tree.
There it is….
Now we are just waiting for the city to move the damn tree. I was thinking we can tie a chain around it and hook it to the Blazer, but I guess not. Thank God it didn’t fall on our house. I was more worried of the one that’s facing the living room. That tree has fallen more big branches than I can count.

I hate to lose a tree. They are so expensive. Plus down here they help catch some of that heat so the house does not have to use so much a/c. Glad it missed your house.
SA, we three. That tree was big enough to provide a lot of shade from the afternoon sun baking into the bedroom. Can’t complain much because the house is still in one piece!
