My house almost got crushed!!!!
So i was sitting in my kitchen, eating eggs and toast when all of a sudden i hear this crackling sound outside and then BOOOOOOOOOOOOM and my entire house shook.
so i run outside, because it sounded like soemthing had collapsed (my first thought was my carport) . and look out and see this:
a huge limb (about 1/4th the size of the tree) of a pecan tree in my neighbors yard had fallen off. and crash landed into our yards and the street (thank god not on our homes). it ended up snapping the power lines which run the street lamps; and is completely blocking off the road.
so now the fire dep't is out there, looking at it like, "what do we do now?" lol.
turns out, the trees around here have been falling because of all the rain we've been getting - the tree sucks up all the water and puts it in the limbs/branches....which then get top heavy and just fall off! the lady that lives on the otherside of my neighbor, said shes been livin here for 39 years or so, and she sees it all the time.
makes me thankful that i have just a lawn, and no trees (or big ones, at least). my neighbor was tellin' me that i used to have one, but the 2nd owners before me had it cut, because of fear that it would fall on the house too - and he's had some of his branches cut too, so that anything that does fall, falls away from the houses.
crazy morning!!!
