Message	So I was in the garage working on some sub boxes for a couple of members and I heard this creaking sound, then a tearing sound and about a second later an earth shaking boom....... After all the dust cleared, this is what I found. Let me tell you it scared the sh*t out of me since I was standing right under where the tree hit. What was worse was both my two and four year old were out playing in the yard. My little girl was standing there like what the hell just happened with a very frieghtened look on her face. I have no shame in admitting I almost cried knowing my kids were fine. Luckily, no one was hurt and now we have an interesting story to tell. Were the tree broke it was amost 2 feet in diameter and the the tree stretched all the way across my roof and half way across the neighbors roof. Now I am just waiting on the company to get out here and remove it so we can check the roof. There is some damage but nothing that can't be fixed. I am just so thankfull no one was hurt.
