Thanks for the prayers and kind thoughts. We have set up a number of buckets and towels to catch most of the water coming in, though there's obviously going to be some water damage. I can actually see the double trunk of the 80-foot tree from our back yard in the attic through our shattered bedroom ceiling. It also crunched the peak of the roof, and the crown of the tree is filling most of the front yard, as near as I can tell.
The kids are sleeping peacefully downstairs. We'll have something interesting to show them in the morning.
It can quit blowing and raining here any time as far as I'm concerned...

Prayers continue.

We've got a ton of emergency vehicles heading out over here on the SE side...sirens everywhere.

Glad the kids are sleeping soundly. If they're like mine they'll be saddened they missed all the action. :-)
Sorry bout the roof. Glad you're ok.
