This happened during breakfast. BOOM!
Poor arbor.
Poor porch!
Dogs must walk.
This is the river. It doesn't usually have WAVES!
Bracing against the wind.
She's a crazy woman.
Our neighbor's ancient oak.
Hug your hounds

*** addendum- 7:10 pm - The rest of the neighbor's ancient oak just fell. It went all the way across the street, taking power lines and blowing a series of transformers. Within seconds, literally seconds, at least thirty people from our neighborhood there. Zoom! Whippet speed. Checking to see if everyone was all right. They are. Everyone is fine. Half of the houses are without power, but everyone is safe. After my walk this morning, the wind persisted, and there is now much more damage. HUGE old trees down everywhere. Some houses squished. Some cars squished. Lots of broken windows. I haven't heard the actual wind velocity yet. Makes me feel very small, and very fortunate.
