1. What global warming?

Brace yourselves for a long and bumpy spring.

2. We have a tree laying on our house, but we're fine.

3. Good news. Hope the roof was not damaged

5. It doesn't appear so, but the gutter is pushed up, and the soffit may be damaged.

What’s galling is that we had that tree, a large white birch, trimmed April 1st. Then two weeks ago, a segment of the tree suddenly fell, blocking part of the neighbor’s driveway. We paid to get that cleaned up, and now another part has torn away from the base. So we get to take another tree down. We had an ash taken down in April when the other trees were trimmed.

7. The most beautiful tree in my neighborhood had half of it split off and fall on the neighbor's roof.

Too bad it wasn't a tree scheduled to be cut down for Emerald Ash borer.

11. Thanks. We're safe. Broke, but safe.

4. Severe weather is something we have to be alert about constantly.

Houston got hit by unexpected flash tornadoes this past weekend. My yard got tore up and cluttered with two giant fallen trees. Eight people died around the city--one guy cause his employers didn't clear the workers out of their construction equipment fast enough.

My sympathies to Iowa.

6. Are DUers more deserving to be ok than others?

Because I personally don't know any DUers, but know many "others".
