We are really very lucky! The tree outside of our house is huge... probably 75 yrs old, 100' tall. It has two main branches. One broke off today and travelled into our south neighbors porch and house south of them, into the front bedroom windows. Our house was pretty much untouched. It just wiped out the metal fench dividing us. It missed my bike by inches.
I'm talking about 50' of tree covering our yard and the 2 houses south of us... it is bizarre to look at!
Our power has been restored (obviously).
I'm so happy no one was hurt.
The tree is the property of the city so hopefully we are not responsible in any way (crosses all digits)!
Phew...
