Date and Location of sighting: April 2 in Webster Groves
How the tree got there: Storms and high winds were blowing everything around that week.
Looks like the house is undamaged: This tree politely laid down on the house rather than crash through it like a drama queen.
How long was it like this?: We're not sure, but we walked by again on April 4 and it was still there.
Size of tree: We once took a math class that taught us how to calculate the height of tall objects. We failed said class, and that's why we're now writers.
Impending danger: There seem to be many more trees that could fall at any moment. Let's hope they're all polite like this tree if that happens.
Did you get a look at that root structure?: We did, and it was shallow as heck, like the tree wasn't even trying to stay in the ground.
