the tree
So, on Monday a storm came through Longview. Half of one of the neighbor's trees decided it would like to snap and end up on our roof. Oh.. and come through the roof into our house. Yes, in our house. I was in bed taking a nap and Josh was in the hallway when it happened. It was VERY scary!!!! We heard a thud and then a couple more thuds which I suppose were the branches coming through the "layers" of the roof/attic/ceiling. Wow what a sight to see. Thank the Lord we are safe. Josh was standing only about 2 feet away from the branch that came in the hallway and our bed where I was is only about 4 feet or so away from the other branch. Natali was in the living room at the other end of the house in her ExerSaucer and didn't know anything every happened. We are blessed to be safe. The tree is gone now and we have tarps on the roof. An insurance adjuster will be out Monday. According to the tree man and the contractor we had come out, the damage is pretty bad. The roof will need to be replaced along with a few trusses (sp?) and the whole ceiling in our bedroom and part of the hallway ceiling. Here are some pictures of the craziness that happened at our home on Monday. :)
