Saturday I drove by this house on the older main drag in town and noticed this disaster.
I took the picture while I was driving.
The house was completely demolished by the huge oak tree. From the houses on either side you can see that this is a row of little cottages that are the old core of Cartersville.
I've seen them take down four or five big oak trees along this road in the past few months. The drought and now the rain makes for some dangerous situations.
I've never seen a house so completely smashed. The guy who lived there was unharmed, thank God. His son was staying at his mom's house, otherwise he wouldn't have made it out.
Today was nice and quiet. I had to run a few errands this morning but I planted myself in bed right after I came home and spent it reading and watching TV.
My back feels better. It's really my hip, or the spot right next to my tailbone. Bulging disk, arthritis, who knows.
But the dogwoods are blooming and that makes me happy.
The forecast is temps in the 30s tonight with more wind and perhaps some snow.
No way!
SGMKJ!
