Mildred Warren called me tonight and told me her Big Blue Spruce fell on her house.  DJ Leach was going to go down tonight to try and get it off her house, but as he was getting ready to go down, he got a call to go out on the roads and get some more trees out of the roads.  I gave JoAnne Wilkins a call tonight and asked her if she could drive by there and snap a photo or two in the morning before they remove it.  I will try to get down there later in the day and get some more.  Anybody else going down by, I would appreciate them snapping a photo.  Mildred is in hopes some of the damage might be covered by her homeowners policy.

If I can get some photos, I will put them up here for you.

Was this the house that also had a car or something drive through the garage not too long ago?

Yup. On the other side of the house.

A special thanks to JoAnne Wilkins for stopping on her way to work this morning and taking some photos of the tree at Mildred Warrens for Mildred.  I wasn't sure I would get down there before someone removed it.  Unlike most retirees, I don't get to sleep until the wee hours of the morning, thus do not jump up at 6:30 a.m. and start my day.  Below is JoAnne's note and photos she sent me:

A couple more views of the tree. I had some pics the same as yours.
Notice the small footprint this large tree made with its roots.

She must have been very frightened. I hope she is ok. That is quite a large tree.  Darn, wind.
