We just had some wicked thunderstorms roll through Virginia Beach today knocking out power, phone lines, snapping trees and more. Our street has tons of very old large trees and we lost 3 huge branches from some surrounding ones this afternoon. One landed right on my deck less than a few feet from our sliding glass door and my desk and another landed right next to my truck. If I’ve got 9 lives for any reason I’m using them up quickly these days.
