I live in far western North Carolina. The remnants of Ida brought us about 6 inches of rain over 30 hours. At midnight, the biggest tree on my five acres came down on my house. No outside lights here on the mountain, but using a flashlight, it looks pretty bad. Just contacted the insurance company. Daylight will reveal all.

Been trying for over a month to get the local tree guy to take down that one tree. I love it up here, but the fucking hillbillies are pretty damn useless for getting anything done.

Had this happen in 2014 during a wind storm. I had just walked outside to look at the trees. One started to fall and I ran maybe 12 feet before it crashed onto the house, broke off the top of the tree that landed where I had been standing. Lucky to be breathing. FYI we decided to do some of the work ourselves and saved a lot of money.

Glad you are okay! I slightly injured my knee from diving under the desk as the tree hit the roof. No biggie.

But there's gotta be a lesson in our two situations. Let's both move to the big city and live in public housing. No problems with trees! Cheap rent. Can there possibly be a downside to this plan???
