Bad weather in the South last night. 3 foot diameter hardwood down across two lots on my street. could have wiped out a family if it fell the other way.

Glad you're OK.
Now get up on a ladder and fix that roof - not.
Removed a similar, but dead, tree about a month ago by our bedroom. Really glad I did.

Guys are on the roof in the rain sliding around

Called the ins co first. Then the clean up company. They are sending the adjuster tomorrow. Got a large tarp and some plywood in the roof now. And no parking in the upper garage. Looks like most of the. Ruling drywall is going to come down.
Oh well. Nobody hurt. Just amazed that a few little choices and a couple minutes made all the difference. If I decided not to do the brake fluid today I would have a tree as my co pilot in my 997.

Only a true Porsche guy would characterize a tree impaling his house but missing his 911 as "lucky"! 
Glad it wasn't worse, and hope everything is back to normal ASAP.
