Timber!!!

We got the ice and winds that were predicted. But, it seemed liked the worst of it was over when a warm front pushed through around 6am today. We made it to work, though late. However, when I get home, I'm startled by what I see in the backyard. This is what I see:



Turns out around 3pm the neighbor's old oak tree finally gave up. Covered with ice and fighting the wind, it finally fell over, taking the fence with it. The good news is that, not only was no one hurt, but no other property damage besides the fence is noticeable. It was just so strange to look out the dining room window and see the entire backyard filled with a down tree. Wow!
