That was Oct 30th 2017. We got the roof fixed before Xmas but the inside living room damage was on hold til 2 weeks ago after an expensive and protracted slug fest with State Farm. Currently Mrs & Mang and I are living out of the kitchen and one of the downstairs bedrooms while the living room is gutted and re-done.
Probably a weird time for me to butt in--howdy stranger whose name I vaguely recall from looking at old threads!--but I can't not comment on the fact that the day a tree goes whump in your house is the same day my Marine-serving cancer-surviving grandfather died.
In any case, glad to see another old face pop up again. Hope your summer's been good!
Coincidences are weird like that, ain't they?
Sorry for your loss.
All our tree damage was fixable and no one got hurt, so we tended to focus on that. Plus, when the house got hit, it was around the time of all the crazy storms in Texas and Puerto Rico. Our town was without power for a few days. Whenever white privilege rage sprang up (it is small town, Connecticut after all) we were like "Well it's not Texas or P.Rico so, stop yer bitchin'". We didn't lose anything important like people or livelihoods or safety etc.
