First Casualty for IKE in our neighborhood

So, this tree was struck by lightening a few months ago--leaving this tree very dead, and with a nice summer of beating sun and heat--very dry. I thought--hey, might as well take a before picture just in case right?
Well, after an hour or so, I went to check on it again and it was gone! I ran over with a few neighbors and found out it fell 10 minutes prior to my noticing it. This is one street away from our house and we have TWO very similar trees; one on our lot and another on our neighbor's.
AWESOME neighbors sprang into action to eliminate all related debris. It was gone in less than 20 minutes. GONE.




These are for Judy to see the nice clouds she loves to watch.
