I almost never, if ever post a photo I haven't taken but today I left my camera at home as l went to help my daughter and her family with some storm damage. The Grand Chap took this one from the seat of his Bobcat® and graciously let me use it.
In the middle of the night , and the middle of the storm, they heard a huge noise. When they looked, their tree that was every bit as big as this one had fallen to the ground. Because they shared a root structure and because this one leans over the house it also had to come down. We spent the better part of the day hauling away logs and brush. The job isn't finished on this 100ft/30.5meter tree tonight and they will finish tomorrow. The other one is all hauled to the street waiting to be picked up by the city.
Awww- so sad, but so glad no damage to the house- at least from what I can see. And no damage to your daughter and her family- which is the best and most important of all.
Sorry to see this damage. It seems the house (and those around it) is ok. That's a blessing. Peace of mind helps one sleep at night, so with the two down, they should sleep well. (Besides they did a lot of physical work too.)
How sad to lose two big shade trees, but thankfully it didn’t land on the house. Your daughter is blessed to have family nearby generously helping with this. A lot of work, I can see!
@olivetreeann yes you are so right @shutterbug49 I feel the same Debbie @louannwarren We are beyond grateful the tree did not fall on the house thanks LAW @randystreat they did sleep better knowing this one would probably not fall during the night and yes the labor also helped! @milaniet There were actually two trees that needed cutting up and hauled away. This is the second and will be down sometime today @Dawn fortunately no damage occurred to the house or to the people @ludwigsdiana I agree about the trees and the photo Diana thanks @kjarn I feel the same way Kathy and thank you @wakelys my thoughts exactly @joansmor I am so glad you think so Joan @mcsiegle Yes it is a shame but it could have been so much worse for sure
We had a couple of trees that were felled by Mother Nature last summer and we were as lucky as my niece and her family. One tree fell away from the house to the south and the other fell away from the house to the west… we had a mini tornado dancing around. We were on our way to SoCal when our neighbors texted photos!
@shutterbug49 I feel the same Debbie
