Oh, I know this... a tree (I named him Walter) fell into our backyard... (Walter was gigantical)... thank goodness no one was injured but it was such a disaster the police actually came to check things out.  Walter literally exploded all over the back yard... we own 1/3 of an acre and so you can imagine that Walter's body parts were everywhere. He completely destroyed the roof of my glazing shed. 

I named the tree Walter because he was in our backyard for a very long time.   3 guys in a Saturn and a chain saw came to take him away at one point.  We are sooooo very fortunate that the property that the tree was originally on was owned by a real estate development company... the kind of company that really cares.  (I am being sarcastic)

I am very glad that no one was hurt by this tree and I do hope your experience with the tree is dealt with quickly.  Trees don't look soooo big when they are standing up.

Earnestine, Walter's significant other, lost a few limbs in what we are referring to as 'The Typhoon' last week.... we are truly hoping when she comes crashing down she will fall the other way.

A huge part of our State was without power... I hosted my sisiter for a few days, gave out a lot of ice, charged cellphones, computers (etc) and offered up a lot of cool drinks and a cool place to relax- seemed the least I could do.  ( I lost power for 6 days after Hur. Isabel- I know how hard it is in this awful heat!!!!)

We had two severe storms yesterday, with hail

the size of ping pong balls for the second go around.

There were some branches down too, in my neighbourhood.

It's shaping up here for anther downpour within the

next hour. The storms give some heat relief, as it was

one hundred degrees yesterday, not counting humidity.
