All last night we had thunderstorms and the temp was below freezing. I don't know how that happens but I knew there was a chance for really bad ice on the trees around here. Luckily, the power lines are all underground in our small town so I didn't really worry about that. I kept hearing a noise like something was sliding against the house but couldn't see anything.
I went to sleep and was awakened by a loud cracking noise so I knew the trees were losing branches or falling down. There's a huge tree in the backyard of my neighbor's with about 6 trunks and that one is bad for losing branches off it. Another tree is 2 doors down and it also has a maple tree with several trunks. A couple of them hang right over my other neighbor's small house. A young couple lives there with a one year old boy. I was really concerned that one of those trunks would fall on their house but it was OK.
My backyard had a bunch of pretty big branches on the ground. Most of them would kill a person if they fell on them. I cleaned up what I could and put them in a pile to burn or dispose of. We have a lot right outside of town we can drop tree limbs at.
My truck was in the driveway. I looked at the tree above it and thought it would be OK to leave the truck there. I went in the house to rest and saw a branch come down on my truck!
I called the neighbors and told them to move their cars because of what had happened to my truck. It was a pretty huge branch and it came down on the cab just right to not do any damage to it.
This thing is headed east so I'd be on the lookout.
