A couple of nights ago during one of the terrential downpours that is apparently quite common during the North Carolina summer, the wind started picking up and the trees started swaying.
Now, these aren't just 'trees'. These are Trees. They are very tall, very thin, well, there is a forest behind our house! So the fifty foot tall trees are swaying back and forth during the thunderstorm, and I'm watching them in awe wondering how they stay up. Then in a flash I see one fly over and crash down - right on top of the playset!! Upon further inspection it was a near miss to the playset, thank goodness, and it landed about 5' to the right, probably missing it by just inches.
Now the one a couple feet to the left of the fallen tree has a big chunk missing from the trunk, presumably where it started to break during the storm. Guess we're rolling the dice on that one!
