Our family lives in West Monroe, La, so got just some of the wind and rain, fallout and such. Big tree , or what used to be a big tree in the front yard. Thank God it didn't hit the house, if it had fallen the other direction, it would have landed on top of out bed in our bedroom. (Kind of not so funny humor, so please forgive me. My dh was in our bathroom, "indisposed", after we ate a little too much Chinese takeout for supper. I was propped up on some pillows on our bed, as usual, on the allnurses.com website. I heard a rather loud crashing noiser, and got worried that the dh was in there long enough his legs fell asleep or something. I got to the BR door, and he made it to the door at the same time, thinking I had fallen. We both looked at each other and said at the same time..."The tree...!"

Got to the front door, and oh, yeah! There was the tree, right on top of my rose bushes and flower beds. I guess that was God's way of telling me I don't have a very green thumb!! Jokingly, of course!

The tree remnants were too heavy for me to move, but when my dh went to work the next am, I got moved what I could. I always keep a fully stocked "disaster kit", or the like after Katrina and Rita. So at least I knew what to keep on hand. I had a battery operated tv/radio, and we had bought a generator after Katrina. Both my parents and aunts, ect. were all living in Washinmgton parish when Katrina was forming, but they got up here before it was too late.

Got my disaster box restocked and now awaiting maybe Hanna, Ike, or Josephine! Hope everyone and their families are ok.

Anne, RNC

If a man falls in the bathroom.. and no one is around ... does he still make a sound? (chuckle)

glad you all are all right hon - and that the "tree did not fall over in the bathroom"! That would hurt!

Zoe - You are TOO funny!! He camps out in that BR it seems like, as I'm typing now on my laptop, he's been in there about 30 minutes or so. I finally called to him a few minutes ago, "...Baby, you all right in there? You didn't fall in did you?" Drives him crazy at times. He says it gives him performance anxiety!!! Ha!Ha!!

And, yeah, the big old tree would have taken out the big bay windows in our bathroom and my big garden type tub. That would stink!! As soon as they heard the crash, both our big outside dogs were IN our bed. Just terrified of the racket!

Thanks!! I needed a laugh tonight! Anne

so glad you all are ok - hugs to the doggies!

I remember our Newfoundland - she was huge, old, arthritic - but when the thunder and lightning came - up the narrow steep stairs she would RUN! and ATTEMPT to get under the bed! Too funny (except that trying to get her back down afterwards was NOT so funny!)

She looked a lot like this:
