Heavy Weather Wind Damage...not too much...

Huge windstorm came blowing through last night....I thought it might have been a tornado. I measured the Tulip Poplar at 95 feet long and 24" in diameter at the base...
Just missed the house.
My Rolex was fine.

OMG! I know you're kidding, but never mind the watch, it's good to know you and your family are safe.

Glad to hear you're OK and the house dodged the bullet.

The cats, on the other hand, don't look like they want to be out there.

Another close call...I hope your family's fine as well.

The closest one i've been near to, was Hurricane Andrew, when we were still living in Miami Beach, FL back in 1992, but the damage to our house was nothing compared to what you guys had on your properties.

Glad you and your family are ok Steve

Now for the burning question; If a tree falls in your backyard and nobody's home, did it make a sound

Lucky for me insurance will take care of it...but I'll be out the $500 deductible.

Cats hate being outside in the heat... :(
