Buh Bye Tree

Almost 5 years...is how long we lived in our house in Keithville and nothing ever happened. Even when Hurricane Rita came through after Katrina a few years back..no damage at all....but then we moved into our new house and BAM!! Our beautiful tree in backyard is demolished. The first large branch fell after Hurricane Gustav and took out the fence and then on Saturday night the other large branch fell and missed the house (Thank Goodness) and what is left of the tree will need to be cut down for the safety of house and our renters. Our renters also told us that there was a lot of shingles in the yard but they could not tell if they were from our house or not. Chris went yesterday morning to look at the damage and found all the shingles are from over the Master Bedroom. So we made a claim but it might take weeks or months before a claims adjuster can come out and look due to the amount of claims that have been made. Lets just hope we do not have any leaks in the mean time. Below are pics of what is left of the tree...this tree is so beautiful when it is in bloom. It had pretty white flowers, I think someone told me it was a Japanese Pear Tree but I am not for sure if that is accurate or not.

Oh my goodness! It's like the tree was just split in half and one half fell right over. Good luck with all that!
