If a tree falls, and you don't hear it...

Yes, the proverbial question, if a tree falls and you don't hear it - did it really fall?

The answer is a resounding yes!

Last night, Amarillo was hit with a round of rather severe thunderstorms. Bryan and I were enjoying a calm evening at his house and went about our business once the storm hit. (Bryan was working on his new power amps, and I was watching a movie on cable.)

At one point the wind got a little intense (hmm, this might be an understatement) so I switched from the movie I was watching to a local news cast. At one point the weatherman indicated that there were trees down on Cline Street. Odd. We were on Cline Street. Ok. Maybe after it stops raining we can go exploring, I thought -and I went back to my movie watching. The storm ended - and I went exploring. Needless to say, I was surprised that my exploring did not take me very far before I noticed the source of the downed tree report. Yes, the two trees down on Cline Street were down in the yards of Bryan's neighbors. A tree was uprooted and landed on a truck in the driveway of the house immediately to the south of Bryan's house and across the street, another tree was uprooted and landed on a vehicle in the street. Check out this video for a visual of the damage. Luckily, no one was hurt in either case - only property damage. Bryan still can't believe that there was not more damage to his house.
