Today we're under a high winds warning which has been in place since 3am. Now we have giant branches falling hundreds of feet that were caught in amongst others, so it's not safe to be outside. One hit the house in the early hours and literally shook our bedroom. Luckily it bounced off rather than went through it but some of the limbs that have came down through the night are about twenty feet long and eighteen inches in diameter. When you look up at a tree so high, you don't realize how large they actually are until they fall. We bought a chainsaw too which Mike's been wielding. I swear I could feel the testosterone surging through my veins just by opening the box. ;) ETA And just as I posted this, something clattered down outside on the shed with a big thud.
