Nearly two months since a mild quaking of the earth shook the foundations of H-Pi, today a storm-induced attack of the neighbor's tree came with a loud fanfare of crashing and booming. Luckily, though the east side eaves were pierced through, overall the structure was not badly damaged. A neutral cable of a power line was severed. Visitors wishing to view the spectacle are advised that the tree is scheduled to be removed within 24 hours. Considering this along with the skyrocketing cost of fuel, perhaps these photos, taken shortly after the event, will be satisfactory.

It may be hard to tell, but that is a tree lying across the roof.

Here is a broken end of the tree, to the left of the photo above.
