30 foot Tree falls with a bang!

Thursday night just a bed-time we heard a loud crash..I mean LOUD.  We were in the middle of the largest storm we'd experienced since being here with over 5 inches of rain falling in 24 hours.  The night was filled with thunder and lightening.  The next morning we could see the cause.  This large plumeria tree was blown over by the storm.  (That's our apartment behind Donna.)  We could see that the base of the tree was hollow and diseased so when the leaves were heavy with rain water it could not withstand the force of the wind...over it went.
