90pmh winds
And now we have a 120-foot tree across the entire back of the house,
crushing the deck and outdoor furniture and all my potted plants, the lights, the railing, the fencing, and blocking the doors.

Didn't Helen say situations like this look like a "War Zone"??? The storm is too intense at the moment to go out to access how much more damage may be involved. I'm sure it's more than what this photo shows. We sat down to dinner to hear a loud boom and feel the whole house shake. Above is what we then found. A giant 40-year-old Maple tree from our West side yard is now laying across the entire back of our house and against the house. Unfortunately, things like this don't just happen to "other people". One should never lose sight of that...
