On July 20, 2008 we had a nasty thunderstorm. I went out on the back porch to watch the lightning. This was about a week after our exterior remodeling project was completed. I looked to the south where most of the thunder and lightning originated. It was very windy. As I turned back to to the east, I noticed one of our large oak tress had fallen, not far from the porch. I didn't hear a sound. This puts to rest the question "If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?"
