Timber!

This call came in on the morning of Labor Day: An old and very tall pine tree toppled onto this single story home, crashing right through the master bedroom, where the sole occupant was sleeping.

See if you can find the bed in this picture...Hint: It's right there under the ceiling fan!

Miraculously, she self-extricated, with only a few minor lacerations and abrasions.
An hour later, when I made a quick search of her room to recover her laptop and cell phone, the huge tree was still creaking and groaning.
But I noticed that her house now had a wonderful pine-fresh scent to it.
