so it will be 200 degrees there, yes?

My mom might have posted it friends-only - does this link work?
It's a giant oak tree branch covering my parents' front yard.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
OMGosh, Jess. I'm glad noone was hurt.

Wow! That's a lot of tree, Jessica.

Holy crap, Jess - glad no one or thing (besides the smoke tube) was hurt. Yikes.

They were lucky it wasn't more - I'm pretty sure this came off the giant double-trunk oak in their front yard. If it had been the whole tree, they'd probably be homeless this morning.
[edit - In that picture, I can definitely see it tangled in some wires, but since they didn't lose power I'm guessing those are telephone lines.]

No kidding. Still must have been quite a shock - did they know it when it happened? I'd assume it was loud, but I remember waking up one morning in high school to see big apple tree had split off a huge chunk and fallen parallel to the house. I remember thinking, "How did no one hear that?" (If a tree falls in a storm...)

the trees are trying to kill us. I am glad no one was hurt.

Jessica - in looking at your parent's house, it looks a lot like the one that my brother and sister in law are buying in Grand Rapids. Except the garage is on the other side.

I'm glad they (and house) are relatively unscathed. There are TONS of trees down around here. Target in Towson was dim and running registers off generators, but they've lost everything in the freezer displays (it's a grocery Target.)
I'm putting in the second AC.
