We're all sleeping downstairs again tonight. With all the rain and wind so far, the heavy part of the tree trunk thats still inside hasnt shifted, and the tarps look like they're holding. Looks like we're going to get some wrap-around, and accuweather said something about a "gravity wave", so I'm researching that. My son was pretty shaken all day and wanted to stay very close. His shakes ( his hands were literally shaking/jumping) finally stopped when he drifted off to sleep. I'm so thankful he wasn't hurt at all. He was sitting on a couch just off center from the skylight. Large branch pieces fell into the room when the tree pierced the roof. The plexiglass skylight shattered and its whole frame fell into the room bringing a chunk of ceiling board and insulation about 4' long. Everything that was ripped out in my daughter's loft fell out to the driveway (siding, drywall, a glass window) rather than into the den.

We are so lucky or he has some awesome guardian angels watching over him. Maybe my mom. I will say this all happened exactly where the dog looks up and barks for no apparent reason.

Gonna hit the sack (or reclining chair). Winds are picking up again.
