While the wife and I were enjoying the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center14390 Air & Space Museum and a game of Empire Builder last night, a band of storms rolled through the Baltimore area. While were were in DC for it, last night, when we awoke this morning, we were greeted by a massive part of the tree, in our backyard, no longer being … upright.

In the bottom right is a 6-foot pole for my Cascade hops. That will give you some perspective on just how big this tree is–was.
Sadness! Tree branch down
