I guess the raccoon family will have to find another home (I hope they weren't in it when it fell into the creek!)
Amazingly, we didn't hear this tree fall – must've happened during the Steelers game. We had closed the windows so we could hear the game – the 50 mph winds were really roaring through our valley.
[That sounds indifferent… but we were pretty sure we weren't actually in any danger from the storm – it was only very strong winds, and our house is brick.]
LOL – when there's a football game on in this house I like to have the sound on mute! That is a big tree gone!
Yikes!
