Aaaaugh!

ZOMG! Just a quick post to say I'm home from Azkatraz. Last night there was a horrific hail/wind storm here, and what was once a pretty nice honeylocust tree in our back yard is now prostrate on the lawn (having barely missed the house, thank god), as are numerous trees in the area. Any summer flower (and my special daylily bed in particular) is trashed. No vegetable garden. There are just leaves everywhere - on the lawns, in the street, plastered on the house - and the whole town smells woody like fallen trees.

Pictures forthcoming. Until then you can read about it here. A lot of those photos are from right around me.

Great quote: "It was wild," the 73-year-old said as she surveyed the damage at her home on Jellison Street near West 32nd Avenue on Tuesday. "It was just like one of those Harry Potter movies."

Hey there! It was so incredibly amazing to get to talk to you, although the opportunity to sit down and have a real natter didn't really arise. I love the idea of catching up with you and the UK gang sometime before I need a zimmer frame. I have hopes.

You are an amazing and gracious lady. It was a real honour. :D

Well, that wasn't a nice welcome home, now was it? Glad to hear your house was okay.

It was great to see you in SF.

Oh wow! What a welcome back that was! I just saw the Harry Potter movie this weekend and it began with devastation wrought by terror from the sky, and your post begins with devastation wrought by the very same...heh. See? Even that woman quoted knew what it really was about!

Glad you and yours are safe.

Oh my. I'm glad the tree missed the house when falling! A storm at our summer house had the toilet cabin overturn once, and it's neither small not light :) not to mention that all flowers and fruit trees got broken, like at yours.

People tell anecdotes about you at the con ;P

Yikes! Glad that tree missed the house. Looks like others weren't so lucky.

Holy FUCK! That's what happens when they let those darned Death Eaters loose... *hides out in sunny So Cal*

Glad it was only the tree, not the house. ;-)

Glad your house survived the fallen tree.
