There I was, sitting in the smallest room in my house, when suddenly I hear CRACK-CRACK-CRACKITY-CRACK...KA-BOOM. I now have a tree on my roof. Film at eleven.

Well it's a good thing that's where he was - as the biological result would probably have been the same no matter what room he was in!sejvaar said:

probably some damage on the flashing surrounding the roof overhang.
unless its a big tree [non-huggable by one person] it usually has the ability to support itself on your roof by separate branches....so instead of having the bulk of it sinking a hole in the roof, you get pockmarks
1.5 trees have hit mine [one tree uprooted and other other half-collapsed]
GALD YOU WERENT HURT!

Here are a couple of pics I took this morning. It's a fairly large tree. It came through the roof and cracked several joists. It also took out the side of my back porch.
View from the front
Here's where it hit. I was sitting just inside the small window. I never knew I could run so fast with my shorts around my ankles.

Good luck getting it fixed promptly. We had a visit from a large hickory tree in the wake of Hurricane Floyd some years back. Luckily it uprooted and must have come down slowly. They had to bring in a crane to remove it. I think it was 3-4 months before everything was finally back to normal.

Hopefully the insurance and the repairs will square this straight away!

It appears to have been dead. There are two trees near it which are probably in the same condition, and we're going to have those taken down.K A said:

That happened a couple months ago at the school where I work. There was a dead tree between buildings, and its limbs started falling onto the buildings over a short (couple days) period. When I looked inside, it looked pretty much the same as the one in your above picture.
Hope everyone's okay and that you can get everything shipshape in a speedy fashion.

Holy H E double hockey sticks, Henry! Glad you made it out with relatively little damage. We had to have a black cherry tree cut down in our yard a couple years ago and two days later, the anchorman of one of the local news stations had $200,000 damage to his house from a single tree... Of course, it was about a $2,000,000 house with a slate roof and the tree actually crushed all the way through the attic, upstairs and into the downstairs rooms.
Again, cost issues aside, glad you made it out OK!
