During Helene, I had a tree fall through my house while I was in bed, and it stopped about 6 inches from my face
That's some Donnie Darko shit right there.
Holy shit. During Chido all we had were mild damages to doors and the like. But... it was already frightening as hell. I never thought wind could be so strong. People in the slums had it way worse. I only saw the aftermath. Some got chopped in half by their metal sheets carried by the wind, or their lost an arm or a hand...
Right after we bought our house, a storm brought a tree through the roof. At the time we were in the living room staying away from windows, but a branch punched through the roof right over my wife's side of the bed. More than 6 inches away, but still spawned some unnerving "what if?"s.
