Or, “Missed by that much.” Seriously, this was a 40′ or 50′ tall tree, and it managed to just miss the house on its way down. I’ll probably post followup pix from when I bust out the trusty electric chainsaw this weekend . . .
(Update: turns out the falling tree took out another tree: a 20-foot-tall one, about 4 or 5 inches in diameter, that was 6 inches away from my window. And yet there’s not a shingle out of place on the house.)
you know, Gil, that this was not just another tree – but life goes on ………….. and no one was hurt
Yeah, it’s also the tree that BUMPED MY DIRECTV DISH ON THE WAY DOWN! So, no TV till Friday, when they get a tech out here (because there’s no way I’m going up on the roof to realign the durned thing).
Upon further review (I went up on the roof to check) it looks like the wind was so strong that it bent one of the brackets on the dish. Wow.
But at least the tree didn’t nail it on the way down.
