Earl
Earl came, and wasn't as strong as they had thought with downfall, but still did some damage. The storm started around 9am, and our power went out at 9:30. The winds were pretty strong, but not much rain. DH decided to run outside and get a huge branch out of the street (we live on a busy city street) and he loved how fresh the air smelt.
After that, he decided he wanted to go to the backyard and sit in his "sitting spot", so I watched him from the bedroom window. Not even 10 seconds after he sat down, a HUGE gust of wind came, and a 40 ft tree snapped, flew in the air, and hovered like in Wizard of OZ and landed on our garage. I freaked out and yelled for DH to get in the house, and he was pretty scared.
The tree had a branch poke right through the roof, but the damage is small. Here's some pics:
Nevermind, TN will only let me post one picture right now. We're pretty lucky though, just thought I'd share! Our power finally came back around 7:30. There was also an electrical fire across the street (a downed wire caught a tree on fire.)
