Timber.........

Okay, so here is an update from the crazy storm that went thru our city in 5 minutes yesterday with 70mph winds....Literally I was sitting in the living room with the girls watching a show, and all of a sudden I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the skies got dark and it sounded like pounding rain....NOT in the forecast!
Next thing I know, debris is flying everywhere, my lawn furniture are about to take flight, and then wham....my neighbors tree splits and falls into our yard/pool! NICE!!
Especially nice the week Mike is gone, of course! Why not!!! :)
Anyhow, my neighbor felt really bad and quickly was out there cutting it all down to clear the area.
Luckily the only "damage" was to the fence, knocking out a few boards which he also replaced. So all that Mike is left with is some tree debris to move to the curb when he gets back this weekend!
Luckily the pool fence was spared!!! Phew!!
 Tree laying in the pool!
The culprit tree (above)  After some cleanup you can see the damages. My neighbor's wife laughed as we were assessing it all and joked that it would be the perfect time to put in a gate, since our kids are always yelling and playing thru the fence when they are in their respective backyards!
 Finally back to normal minus the pile of tree branches in our yard
