Tuesday morning, at 3 am, we were woken up by what sounded like the biggest thunder clap ever. Well…that, or an earthquake, freight train rolling thru, or a plane hitting the house. Turns out….it was a HUGE pine tree. Across our deck, in our bathroom, and all over the roof. OMG…they should make an alarm clock that makes that noise, all 4 of us were up in an instant.
There are “nail-pops” all over the ceiling upstairs. Literally, the nails have popped out of the sheetrock/plaster. Our bathroom now has a nice skylight in it, along with sticks, insulation, and lots of busted plaster and glass. The globe on the bathroom light shattered, and the window blinds were knocked out of the window, but the light bulb is intact, and the window still works perfectly. Our siding on 2 sides of the house is buckled. Gutters are torn off….it’s a disaster zone!
The men from Disaster Pros said that there are 4 holes in the roof directly above our bed. They were shocked that they did not come down thru the ceiling and onto us in the bed. Thank GOD it didn’t, or we’d be in a very scary situation!
The back deck is crashed….looks like we had one heck of a party out there! Our grill was flipped upside down, and the top of it is crushed.
And apparently….a branch/log rolled off of the roof, and broke the driver’s side mirror off of my van, and another put a dent in the hood. DANG.
All of this is replaceable/fixable. We are safe, and unhurt. All the animals are ok. God is good.
