Earth-Shaking

   Maybe not the entire world, but most certainly the house. At 9:30 this evening, the house shuddered under a terrific booming sound. It seemed as if someone might have driven into my car or maybe the side of my house. I looked out, and the best I can determine  is that a massive ice jam has slid off the roof. The roaring noise must have been the actual sliding and the booming noise when a portion hit the aluminum deck. I thought the rain gutters might have been pulled off, but from where I stand they seem intact. I'll check further tomorrow when it's daylight. I'm thankful no one was underneath when the ice fell, as it 's really thick.
