Friday night I was out at my parents while Cam was running a camera for the Flash Basketball game. It was really windy and rainy. I cam home at about 9:30 and when I was going in the side door I thought that something looked funny. I went in the house and when I got all my stuff set down I looked out our window and this is what I saw.
The big pine that is in the backyard had blown over. We are all lucky that it didn't hit the house. It did take down some of the scrub oak that is in the backyard giving us privacy but that is a small price to pay. So we spent Sat morning cutting the tree up because it was blocking the back door that we use when it is not snowy. Here is some pictures of it.
We had a lot of men come over off and on to help out.
After we got done cutting it up and hauling the trunk off (all the branches are still piled all around the backyard) Cam had to go back to Orem and run a hand held camera for the Flash game. As you can imagine he was really tired after that.

That is pretty crazy! Phil and I live in Erie PA. Phil is in pharmacy school here. Did you guys buy a house? where at? Are you working anymore?
Oh my goodness! That is crazy. I am glad that it didn't hit the house as well but I am sure that made for a hard day of clean up. I bet Cam needed some hot chocolate after all that hard work in the cold.
Looks like a close call. Glad no one was hurt and things weren't any worse. Good luck with the lingering branches!
