That's awful. The trees are really dangerous in this situation.

Stay safe, everyone. Stay in, if possible.

That's always been a fear of mine in a big storm... that a tree will fall on my house or the roof will cave in and I'll be killed. That's what's so upsetting to me with this death. The guy was doing what he was supposed to do by staying indoors, and a tree falls on his house killing him anyway. It just seems so unfair.
