Went out in daylight to find we were very lucky:
It was the biggest tree near the house, a jack pine about 50’ high and about 2’ across at the base - could have done some damage if it had hit the corner of the house square on

Crikey, I’ve seen some close calls over the years, but that takes the prize. Glad that you are safe and relatively unscathed.

The light’s going, but the house is clear and has amazingly little damage - nothing visible on the heat pump, so it’s just the upstairs window and some chips on the siding. It’s nothing short of a miracle!

Ouch! Hope their hatches are well and truly battened, and they come through it okay 
They are pretty central so it should be ok, but property damage, no power, no water etc is likely.
