A limb's limit

A couple of months ago (April 16th to be exact), a tornado ripped through our area. "Our area" refers generally to the line the tornado traveled from Sanford through North Raleigh as well as specifically to Holly Springs and the road not a mile away that the tornado tore down. We were very lucky to be spared by Mother Nature's handiwork.

While the tornado didn't come through our neighborhood, we did have a very mean storm hit. Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, we had it all. Surprisingly, we didn't lose any limbs or trees and really didn't have much debris at all. I mean, really, I should WISH for a nearby tornado every time considering how we came through it unscathed.

There were storms in our area yesterday and when I got home, I saw this out the kitchen window.
















Each of those lighter pavers is 2 feet square so that should give you a rough idea of how big the limb is.





















This limb was a decent size so maybe it had been holding on for dear life since the tornado, and yesterday's weather event was the final straw.
