^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.

I live in Southeast Texas and we got some pretty nice rain. Lots of lightning, and then we got slammed last night again.

And my satellite TV decided to not work at all. I couldn't even access my DVR. >.>

The first two posts of this thread are why I'm so glad I live in boring old England. It may rain a bit too much, but we hardly get any extreme weather.

Then again, provided you have insurance, it's always nice to have an excuse to redecorate.

Some time ago, a tree fell down just next to my house and almost destroyed our car. It missed by mere inches.

Yeah that must have been a lovely weekend, did it come through the ceiling or just the roof? Although I gotta say, in hindsight it probably wasn't a good idea to build a house that close to the tree, which was bound to fall over someday...

It went through the roof and the side of the house. They are cutting the tree down as I am typing this.

Also, the house was relocated next to this tree. Not exactly built here. There used to be an old hotel in this location. We live in the second oldest city in Texas, Gonzales being the first. I am turning the trunk of the tree into a table.

But this crazy weather happens all the time. We have to be on lookout for flooding (thank you Guadalupe River), Hurricanes (coast), Tornadoes, drought, wild fires, scorpions, rattle snakes, killer bees, poison frogs, I mean lots of disastrous things.

scorpions, rattle snakes, killer bees, poison frogs

Those are, indeed, the worst weather situations on the list.

As I told you earlier Ash, I am all for beating up the tree. Or the storm. Or your landlord.

Then I'll ban it/him/them.

It was all very bad. But now I have a lot of pecan wood. BBQ this weekend!
