Rubber-Necking

I have always been a very sound sleeper, and joked that I could sleep through just about anything. This weekend, that proved true.

Late on Saturday night, I guess there was a whale of a big thunderstorm and accompanying high winds.

How high?

High enough to blow down a tree big enough to do this:


This took place one half block away from Chez Omnibus.

I didn't hear the wind or the driving rain.

I didn't hear the thunder (which I understand was pretty spectacular).

I didn't hear the crack when the tree fell.

I didn't hear the whump when it hit the car.

I didn't hear the car alarm, which surely had to have kicked into high gear.

Sheesh.

(And no -- that's not my vehicle. Thank Jeebus.)
