Storm

We had a big wind storm starting on Wednesday, Nov. 30 and lasting through Friday, Dec. 2. The worst of it was Wednesday night/Thursday morning. We didn't sleep much that night as we kept hearing branches pelt the roof and surrounding area. At about 3:30 am Matthew was up in the living room and heard this tree fall between the shed and house right on top of the car. On the way down it also broke the pipe for our propane tank (luckily it didn't hurt the valve so we could turn it off) and pulled down all the electrical wires (PG & E was parked by our house so they shut if off right away). We were heading out for Michigan on Friday morning, so it made for a busy day on Thursday trying to clean up and pack without power, gas or warm water.
The tree that fell on the propane tank.

The tree crushed the Volvo. So sad. We just got it 6 months ago.

Picture from the front of the house. We were glad the tree didn't fall on the house.
