Continued From The Previous Entry--Picture of the Damage

The relatives mentioned in the previous post just sent a picture of what their house looks like now—after they dragged most of the tree away. For those that are interested, here it is, from what looks like a side angle. (The person in the picture is helping them drag stuff away)

The roof wasn’t flat according to Dad, it was more the pointy cathedral type at the top. The tree fell across the whole house, and after checking around it got part of another (unoccupied at the time) of their bedrooms. We’re assuming the strength of the roof and how it was built is what saved the rest of it from just being squashed.

I'm sure it was terrible, but it could have been so much worse! That tree is huge and, in places where they don't build with hurricanes in mind, would have flattened that house completely. I glad no one got hurt.
