Yesterday evening in Albany we had what seemed to be the worst storm in history.  The rain was crazy.  The wind was insane.  The thunder was like nothing I've ever heard.  After the storm subsided, I looked out the front door only to see that a very large portion of the tree in front of our house had fallen down.  Now, there is much debate between the four residents of The Pinnacle as to what part of the storm took the tree down (I think lightening) but nonetheless, it was pretty impressive. 

In a very strange turn of events, there were two empty parking spaces on the street where the tree fell.  If you're at all familiar with Center Square, you know that this is not common.  In fact, even though I have a parking spot behind the house, I almost parked my car there because the spot was so good.  It's a good thing I didn't.  When Harith and I returned from dinner a few hours later, someone had actually moved the tree out of the parking spots onto the sidewalk and parked there.  It was hilarious.  Here are some photos of the tree, the daylight photos were taken before and the night photos were taken after it had been moved.
