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

I don't mean to be an alarmist, but are you sure you and your family are safe with a tree through your roof and still such high winds?
During the worst of Hurricane Andrew, my sister's neighbor had the same thing happen. They left the house and came over to hers.
The wind was so strong, they could barely hang on to each other. And when they knocked at the back door of my sister's home, they were not heard because of the wind. Her husband just happened to look out and see them trying to get inside.
Anyway, this family did not have a basement, of course no one did in that region to escape to. And, the damn tree managed to fall through to the first floor from the second.
Of course, this was Andrew and much worse.
