Tree Limb Courtesy of Tropical Storm Cindy

One of the limbs from my Oak tree came down at about 12:15 last night just as the power went off. There wasn't any damage to the roof. The electricity won't be back until sometime tomorrow evening. At last call to Entergy, they said that 12,400 people in my little town were still without power. Everyone is doing fine and no one had any major damage. There were many trees down and many people in my neighborhood are already making reservations for hotels in case Dennis comes to visit. Here you can see the debris and the old Oak that snapped in half.

Canon PowerShot A95
1/60s f/2.8 at 7.8mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Frightening maybe, but at least it landed safely... tread carefully
Guest 07-Jul-2005 17:01
Wow, glad it landed "safely" on the roof. Take care, stay safe. Hang in there.

Glad no one was hurt! How did you do this without electricity? That's amazing! Cute house, from what i can see!

What a sad sight. The impressive part is how you posted this picture without any electricity.
Guest 07-Jul-2005 10:32

OMG, Elaine, I'm glad there was no damage. It's a an excellent capture of the fury of the storm but I wish it wasn't you. I guess this is one of the disadvantages of living in your beautiful area. Crossing my fingers for you for the next one. Btw, power companies always lie about when they're going to restore power. :) Hope you got lots of Coleman gear.

Well I know it's probably not a good thing, but this is a nice looking picture. The tree almost seems to belong there.
