The house began to pitch.
The kitchen took a slitch, well actually it was the computer room. Didn't wake up in Munchkin land but it is that time of the year when we see lots of thunder and lightning storms in the south. Mother Nature will often give up a wonderful show and at night it is like trying to sleep in the middle of a disco between the booms of thunder claps and the disco ball of lightning that goes on for hours all often accompanied by heavy winds. Minus the "twister" action, Dorothy would have been proud.
Sometime during the storm or shortly after, the tree in our front yard split and hit the roof of our home.
It did not break any windows or put a huge hole in the roof. It did take out the gutters but that is an easy fix. Hopefully, the structure did not sustain damage, but that is for an adjuster to determine.
The smaller of the two giant limbs hit the house.
The largest limb crashed between my neighbor's house and mine and missed their bay window by inches. There is alot to be thankful for as this could have produced a lot of damage or potentially hurt someone.
So now I make the third call to my insurance company for a claim in the the last 45 days. What gives, I haven't had a single claim in over 30 years, but now it's the "trifecta", the "hat trick" of homeowners claims and all on the roof. Whatever the message is, I'm trying very hard to read it. Still, I'm thankful that no one was hurt, a hole was NOT put in the roof and my only real concern is "if what is left of the tree can be saved."
Now everybody sing,
The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a stitch.
It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch,
Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch.

Who began to twitch and was reduced to just a stitch of what was once the Wicked Witch.
