^This is about a 200 year old pecan tree that fell through my house around 7:45 AM Saturday morning. We received over 8 inch of water in some places in 2 hours.

Time to refurbish your home with new pecan furniture.

At least it wasn't termites. Still sucks nonetheless.

Yes, now I have construction workers all in my house. If I die of mesothelioma I am going to haunt some people to blame.

And yes, it's funny you say that Gantic. I already sent about 3 tons of wood to a furniture builder!

But no fire wood, I'm in South Texas. Christmas day is usually in the 60s.

Naw I feel sorry for you . In Australia we don't get much of that depends. We only get Flooding , Drought , Cyclones & Hurricanes . We get trees falling through houses occasionally.

Holden, it's pretty much the same here. This was a freak thing. I live in the desert practically. We normally are in a terrible drought at this point. Praying for the rain in hurricane season in September.

DAMN YOU EL NINO!

South texas, ash? I live in north texas. We got some hefty rain a day ago or so, but nothing like that.

Man, that's rough... I hope you can fix that without any problems.

Yea, I'm down here near Port Aransas. It kicked our butts down here. It acted like a hurricane.

But remarkably. They have fixed everything so far. Except half the tree still needs to be taken down.
