At 4:00 a.m. the warning sirens started. Being the night-owl that I am on the weekends I was in my scraproom and wasn't quite sure what I was hearing. I went outside to the front porch and could hear the sirens but there was a storm, no hard wind nothing that would make you think anything was really going to happen.
Long story short - my sister next door came out and yelled for me to get Mom and get next door and we went to her garage to wait out whatever was maybe coming out way. It started to rain a little and you could hear the thunder in the distance but again, it really didn't seem like anything major was happening around us. Then for about 2-3 minutes a huge gust of wind felt like it was circling the house. Later around 7:00 I went back home to "The Tree"
A giant red oak behind the house came up by the roots and inbedded itself in the middle of my living room and across the whole top of the room over the dinning room area.
