We had a pretty bad storm last night, with wind gusts of about 40-50 mph. I heard the winds blow all night, but didn't think much about it, because well..storms happen. When I left this morning, I saw some larger limbs on my driveway but still didn't think much about it. All day long we heard news of fallen trees and half of our area being without power, but still I didnt' think about that and was more worried about not being able to do my taxes online. When I came home (in the dark) I saw a pick up truck in front of the house with lights blarring and grew a bit worried because this is not a normal occurance at my place at all. And then I saw it....
The huge pine tree that stood in the dog kennel had been lifted up by the roots and fallen on the fence, missing the dog houses by inches and missing my bedroom by 2-3 feet. If the tree had fallen in a straight line...he would have killed me. Needless to say, I feel shaken but also very blessed because if he had to come down, he came down in the best possible way...And the dogs were unhurt, too...not even one sratch on them. I know I hardly ever mention my faith on here, but let me just say, I feel very blessed and thankful to the Lord tonight, because not only am I alive, my dogs are unhurt, but there isn't even a scratch on my house or roof..the only thing that needs a bit of fixing up is the fence, and this is nothing compared to what could have been.
This is the second time in two weeks that I escaped injuries or even death, because about two weeks ago I nearly caused a bad wreck, by not paying attention to where I was driving...
Apparently I sleep very sound, as I didnt' wake up or hear a thing when that tree hit the ground just a few feet away from where I was sleeping
