Michael passed through Winston Salem yesterday around midday. Three trees fell in my next door neighbor's yard, one went through the roof. Naturally, it happened during a cloudburst, so the new hole in the roof let in a lot of water.

I got lucky this time... but there are a lot of trees I need to get removed before the next big storm.

I hate to cut trees down, but I hate trees in the house even more... so I'll probably replace them with smaller varieties.
