At about 10:30 PM this evening (12/22/08), an oak tree in our neighbor's yard fell, striking the northwest corner of our house. Fortunately, our house was struck by one of the limbs rather than the trunk itself. No one was injured.
A City of Albany crew arrived and did an outstanding job of removal - I was quite impressed with their professionalism and with the amount of care exercised.
