High Winds Trees Down
+ Comment!

It was storming Saturday night when we had just walked out of our living room. Then we heard something hit the side of the house, right where we just were sitting. The storms were producing strong winds and blew down one large tree, that fell into another tree in front of our house. If it had not hit the tree closest to our house, we are certain it would have injured all three of us, including our 20 month old son. It would have taken out the very corner where I was just rocking my son back to sleep.
I went outside and looked, the tree had come right to that very same corner of the house. Thank God everyone is ok.
