Treed in (like snowed in, but with a tree instead of snow)

A storm blew in last night. The wind was 25 mph (11 mps) and temperature 46 F (8 C). With wind chill than made for 37 F (3 C), but that doesn't take into account being pelted with rain and wet leaves. Overnight the storm was estimated to have gusted up to 56 mph (25 mps).

This morning we discovered that a tree had broken and fallen over our driveway. My husband was out of town on a business trip, otherwise he would have discovered this on his way out well before me. The first few calls I made weren't so promising, and I realized that I wasn't going to be able to get my daughter to school any time soon. I called the mom of one of her classmates who lives around here, and she came and drove my daughter to school. If I'd had that thought sooner, I might have caught her before she left to deliver her own daughter, but luckily she didn't mind making an extra trip.

Soon the message I left for our neighbor farmer was heard, and he sent one of his workers over with a tractor. It took only a couple of minutes for him to use the tractor to push the tree off the road. A little while after that, my internet connection started working again, so we're good.
