We are fine, the house is a bit crunched but it didn't go through the roof. Sounded like a huge BANG! I was glad it is an old house with strong roof structure. Now we just have to figure out how to remove that tree.....:-)

Know how you feel. Mother nature is letting us know who is in charge. Looks like a little roof damage there. Glad nobody was hurt in the storm.

like already said- good news is noone was hurt. But remove it????? I would think it would be a good selling point to prove how strong your roof is if you ever decided to sell your home---- (at least that would be the excuse I would use to the other half to try to get out of cutting it up)

Tammy, glad everyone is ok, normally your house insurance will pay to remove the tree from your structure. They won't take it off the property but will take it down off the house.

Good luck.

Thank you so much guys for all the good wishes. Black Sheep you crack me up!!! Monday the tree services will all be getting phone calls so I can compare services. Actually we do have a wood burning stove in the kitchen and I may just save some of this for next winter. Our neighbor brought over his chain saw but I will need a professional to get it off the house since it is stretched over the fence and could do more damage falling off the roof. Here are a few more pictures I took this morning.

I agree we were lucky, not a bad idea Brian- but I think we will have plenty of warm temps Friday night.

Tammy, good to know you're all safe! Can you talk the insurance company into extending that porch about 50 feet and building a killer shop for you and the family? Its only money, you know, and I'm sure they have plenty!

Eric I would love a new shop....but right now I need 1 more bedroom! Not sure how long my 10 year old son will want to share a room with his 9 year old sister....:-( Insurance has been really great about everything. I have Pekin and they came right out, said we will fix it and after a little bit on the nightly news I was even able to convince the township office to take the tree away. It was located in what I consider the easement but they said "It wasn't planted by us!" No kidding? I think Silver Maples plant themselves folks. LOL

Too bad they took the tree away. Ya could have made a bunch of wood replacement kits for early Fords & Chevys. Well, maybe not! Glad things are workin out for ya.
