Wow. You just never know when the end will come.

http://www.cnn.com/

A man died when an icy tree fell on his North Carolina home.

Can you imagine, you're snug in your bed and then WHAM!

I'm so glad I live in the safety of a big city...San Francisco (rumble). :eyes:

8. Looks like BFE to me.

Where I am, the houses are all packed up right next to each other 3 to 5 stories high, with just a few trees on the sidewalk.

And we don't have ice storms or other bad weather.

Yep. It's real safe here.

(rumble rumble)

It picked that one.
