Tree falls on mans home - wife looks at the bright side.

Kim and Linda Plaisance look at the live oak resting on their home, on Friday, Aug. 22, 2008. The tree was weakened by wind and rain brought on by Tropical Storm Fay. (RICARDO RAMIREZ BUXEDA, ORLANDO SENTINEL / August 22, 2008)

“The house shook like an earthquake,” Linda Plaisance said. “I was so scared. It sounded like this high-pitched whistle.” The tree left a gaping hole in their bedroom roof and completely covered the front of their home, blocking the windows and doors.

“I looked outside, and all I could see was tree,” Linda Plaisance

said. “You had to weave your way out like a maze.”

“It smells nice,” Linda said of her home. “It’s fresh. An outdoor smell, like Febreze.”
