Fallen Tree

We had a bit of a problem during a storm last night. The top third of a very large sweet-gum tree broke off in the high winds and came down in our yard but luckily leaned gently(?) onto the front of our house. It smushed the rain gutter but didn't penetrate the roof or break our big living room picture window. We weren't at our house during the fall but had a call soon from a neighbor. Early morning call to the insurance agent. Possible appointment later today with our tree trimmer guy. And maybe some roof work?

The storm also knocked out power in our section of Oberlin for almost 12 hours which gave us an evening of candlelight and a lot less technology. But nice that our cellphones did work.
