There are certainly better ways to make the news!

I'd like to thank everyone who called to offer help; this past Sunday we had a very short and violent storm, and as a result, three trees in our yard fell with one of them striking our house. Fortunately, the damage to our house seems only to be on the outside save a broken window. A decorative arch on the side of the house was totally destroyed, and the front yard (as our neighbor put it) looks like King Kong walked through it. Although our house was the top story on the news that evening, the truth is that the damage looks a lot worse than it actually is, and we are grateful that despite the strength of the storm, no one was hurt.
