Another day, another squall line

Another day, another squall line. This one was fairly fast, about 4 p.m. It got really dark, then windy, then rainy (0.5“). The lights went on and off multiple times, but the longest stretch was about 15 minutes.

After it sort of calmed down, I heard what I thought was a branch fall on the roof, right over my head. John was on the deck and heard the “crack”. The top of the 20-year-old maple tree split off, and fell across the fence, clipping the corner of the house.

John got up on the roof, and there doesn’t seem to be any damage there. He and our neighbors will get it cut up and dragged up to the street tomorrow.

Another tree next to it is leaning now toward the neighbor’s house. We’re now up to four trees that need to be cut down this summer, plus a couple of big limbs off another tree. Oh, well……
