Hurricane Frances

Here's what happens when an oak tree falls through your roof. Thanks to the kindness of our friends and neighbors we were able to have the tree removed in one day. I'm afraid full repairs may take a bit longer. We were fortunate; many people are worse off due to flooding and homes destroyed by wind. Anyone know if there are hurricanes in Arizona?
