Update on freakishly big succulent flower

This is actually from a couple of days ago, but it hasn't changed that much--Saturday's windstorm did little damage. Joanne isn't there for perspective but we estimate it's about 10' tall and it seems to have stopped growing. Not that I went into a lot of detail the first time, but this is the first time in the almost 4 years we've had the house that it's done something like this.

In other news, I'll try and get back on track to my announced schedule...

Is that the scientific name?

Thanks for the update. I was wondering if it had started to talk to you yet?

The Agave family (or century plants) flower very infrequently (thus, 'century plant'). The spike growing out of your succulent is the reproductive structure. In many cases, the plant dies after flowering. FYI.
