The Tangrens

Labor Day was nearly 100 degrees but we were told that the heat wave would end on Wednesday of that week. On Tuesday night we sat in our living room with all the windows open and the fan going. Storm warnings were issued for Utah county so we took everything off our porch that could fly away and waited. The wind began to blow and the temperature dropped. We heard rumors of tornados in Lehi and shut all of the windows. The sky got dark. The wind blew, lightning struck and thunder roared. We heard something and figured it was just something shifting on the porch. One of our neighbors came over to ask Derek's help to move his grill. As he ran back across the courtyard he saw that one of our neighbors trees had fallen directly between the apartment building and the car port. It couldn't have fallen any better. After the storm passed we ran out to look and take pictures.
Pictures don't show you just exactly how close it got to hitting the building and cars. (ours was one of them that could have been hit) Not long after our landlord came and started to cut it up with a chainsaw. The sound scared Hyrum so I took him inside and gave him a bath by the time he was done the tree was gone. Everyone went out to help and took care of it quick. It was scary but it was over quick.
