Thunder Storms!

Last week there was some really exciting thunder storms in our area. We sat in the house and watched the rain blow completly sideways. I was kinda scared. After the storm I was outside and there were so many trees and peices of trees on the ground. Right down the road there was a house that lost 2 or 3 huge old trees in their yard and another house had a tree fall into their house(I was going to take some pics but didn't want to make anyone mad). This is kinda a concern for us, as we have a few huge old trees right outside our back door.
Here is a picture of the top of our house from the front..
Everytime we have a storm I am wondering if those trees are going to come down. So far we have been lucky! A few branches have fallen here and there, but nothing real bad. As I look around the neighborhood.. we are the only one with that many tall trees right outside the house.. weird.
