1 am. Power is still on. Wind gusts are definitely getting stronger but still there is very little rain. Our neighbor has a titanic pecan tree in her back yard. So large her house has been altered to adjust for the diameter of the trunk. It was initially planted way too close to the house. Now it is a 70 year old 60 foot monster. And pecan trees are notorious for shedding limbs. Luckily none of its major limbs cross my property. I have a great view of it outside my kitchen window, and given the backlit sky, the wind ripping through this massive tree has been fascinating to watch.
Aside. Sirens, loud pursuit, engines revving and then halt. Someone just got busted.
Here's the photo. I wish I had film capability with digital (yes, it is available but it's friggin' expensive) so this is the best I could do given my gear.
