My 84-year-old neighbor and his wife were sleeping in bed when this more than 20-foot-long tree limb broke off during a wind storm and crashed into their house. This happened around 1:00 AM. They called me for help, and my neighbor was laughing as he explained that the tree limb landed between his legs while he was sleeping on his back on that side of the bed. He crawled back in bed to show me. The limb was inches from his groin area.

The tree I used to play in as a child, which held bird feeders and hammocks and many a cat, which would drop so many blossoms in the autumn that me and my dad would make a day of raking them, which gave me shade on a sunny day to read, which stood rain wind and shine for over 30 years.
It was dying for a few years as the roots became infected, but we had some strong wind recently and it was finally felled. Goodbye, old friend.

There was a fifteen-minute storm that passed by my house. Fifteen minutes. It was terrible and the winds were super intense. I heard a crash and looked outside only to find both of my cars had been crushed by two trees.

This is from a storm. There’s a pond out back and that’s the main culprit. On a normal day, you’d think there’s no way it would ever reach the house, no matter how much it rained, but sure enough it did.

Rain came out of nowhere and the sirens were going off and saying seek shelter immediately so I trusted my tent to keep my art safe while I took shelter in my car. Came back once the storm was clear to find my life's work in a heap. They said they found my canvases all the way down by the highway that had been carried away by what they described as a river flowing where there was supposed to be a road. It will cost me thousands to replace all of my prints and my tent. I'll be okay. I know I will bounce back. This is just a big hit and it hurts me so bad emotionally to see my artwork lying in muddy puddles on the road. I am very thankful for the people that stayed and helped me clean up the mess afterwards.

My father-in-law lives in a 5th wheel and during an ice storm, a tree crashed through his roof and completely destroyed it. He has a brain tumor and gets confused, so my husband filed the claim saying it happened at 1 AM. The insurance called the next day and said that my father-in-law didn't renew his insurance plan, and it had lapsed at 12:01, so nothing was covered.

Got it fixed, then our step broke in half. It's always something.

We’ve had it for about two years and it has withstood some hellish weather. Something about the wind last night caught it just right. The frame was bolted to 4x4s and those were secured to the ground with spikes that went about 8 inches deep.

The river level in Downtown was the highest it has been since since 2005.
