Half fell in in our back yard, missed hitting Mrs. by about 10 minutes. She had been working in the shade garden most of the afternoon before the trunk split.

The half of the tree that fell toward our yard missed the kid's play structure by less than a foot. The main trunk left a "Bugs Bunny" dent in our shared fence that never did get fixed..

All of them would have been injured (or worse) had they not been inside getting ready for the annual block party. I was at the golf outing - stinking up the course as usual - when I got the call. Literally took two months to clear the damage and get the utilities to re-string the damaged lines.
