I had a bit of an alarming experience this morning. The a/c unit came on and I noticed immediately that it sounded somewhat strange. I looked over at it and saw that it was about to fall out of the window! All that was was holding it was the thick caulking I'd put across the top when it was installed. Went out and looked at it and saw that the 2x4 that held it up had fallen over. It had been under there tight. Could've been knocked loose by the tree hit. That had made everything jump. I'm still finding stuff that was damaged by that impact. A dozen locos that were on the layout at the time were knocked over on their sides. They seem to run OK. The same can't be said for most of the locos that were in the display rack right under where the tree hit. Most of them were damaged, some were destroyed. And my nephew wonders why I don't have anything good to say to him.
