We had a front come in Sunday with North winds 20 to 30 miles per hour and gusting higher. I was sitting at the dining table Sunday afternoon, surfing the web on my laptop when BOOM, a big limb fell on the roof just above me.
The limb broke off of a huge White Oak tree that sits just south of the house. It is a big limb – about 25 feet long and five or six inches in diameter at the end where it broke off. It fell about 20 feet before hitting the house so it is amazing that the damage it caused was minimal.
The only significant damage was to the trim along the eaves and two broken shingles at the point of impact.
I would like to say there were no injuries, but while looking at the limb on the roof, and backing up for a better view, Honey tripped and fell. She gouged a couple of half-inch patches of skin from her palm and got some pretty big bruises on her thigh. Her leg is sore, and her hand is going to be pretty painful for a while, but I’m sure she is going to be fine.
