Mr. Karate came over for dinner before karate tonight. He got out of his car and noticed how windy it was. He heard a sound like lightning, then looked over, and saw this part of the tree fall in our neighbors backyard.
Our neighbor is a daycare mom. She had just taken the children inside.
PlusOne was over there playing with her son. They had gone inside as well.
Look at the scar on the tree. The brown section is where another section had broken off several years ago. When the neighbors moved in, mom told them that the tree was rotted, and they might want to think about taking it down.
The neighbor said that just three weeks ago her husband looked at the tree and said they should talk to someone about them, to find out if they should be taken down. Everyone was really thankful that they had all gone inside moments before.
Most of the yard is now tree!
This is from the hallway upstairs, looking out.
The tree before. You are looking at the leftmost trunk of tree. I know the angle is different, but you can see how much of it there is.
And now how much there isn't. Pretty scary, huh?

That was very scary. I am so glad that everyone had gone inside before that huge chunk of tree fell. Lots of great big {{{HUGS}}} from me to all of you. I am so glad that you are my friends.
Yikes, how scary!
The Meezers have started a hug-a-thon, so here are some *hugs* for everyone at your place!
Thank goodness no one got hurt! I hope now they will take down the rest of the tree. Many hugs to you.

Wow! Good thing nobody got hurt.
We just had a tree man come to look at our trees too. It's going to cost a lot to get them fixed up but totally worth it. We had so much wind this past winter, we wouldn't have been surprised if big branches didn't break off and bash into the house.
We're glad you and your neighbors are okay!

Oh, My! I'm thankful that no one was hurt, and that the house was not damaged! And that there were no pugs hurt, either!
We are so thankful no one got hurt! That was a very scary thing to have happened and so sudden, too.
