That Damn Ike~

It was a wee bit windy here today. The lower eastern portion of Ike caused huge wind gusts for about five hours - we sustained some pretty major damage.


What a loud thump it made when it came down! We had to clear out all those open cabinets in the kitchen because we could literally hear the wall cracking. The tree seems pretty stable but if it rolls off the house it could take out the deck, back wall of the kitchen and the side wall of the playroom - we hope it stays put! We have already contacted our insurance agent and expect to start working on the clean up tomorrow, but what a bummer y'all!
This tree is directly across the street.

Oh my gosh!!! I'm so glad that you are all okay. What a scary thing. And I'm sure you're still worried wondering if this tree will come crashing further into your house.
Hope you can get most of the costs covered by insurance.
