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!!!

With all of the storms here in Austin of late, there I was sitting in the living room, rolling a , well you know, a left handed cig and KABOOM!!! Heard a cracking and looked out the frigging window and the trunk of the tree outside was still glowing orange .... bolt of lightning hit it and split it in half, luckily my car was parked across the way, but tubularbills that would of sucked if it landed on your house.

scary thing, is that about , oh , 30 minutes before this happened, i had just walked my dog around the block and underneath that tree!!!!

crazy that water did this, and not lightning - which would still make more sense in my mind!
