We have three 100 ft fir trees in our front yard. If one of them goes down, I hope it is toward the road! We had an arborist thin the canopies so they aren't as likely to go but you never know! At least there aren't any more widow makers up there.
Oh man. So sorry to see that! I had my bout with crazy ind and weak trees earlier this year, and I'm still cleaning up the mess.
We didn't get a fraction of the expected storms today - but the kids had tornado drills anyway.
Oh, NO!! I'm so sorry - we get downed trees like that during Santa Anas and it's always nervewracking. I hope insurance covers the car?
ooh, irritating! Wow that blows. (sorry for the pun, couldn't help myself)
Glad nobody got hurt. Hope it was just the windows and can be easily repaired.
In weather like this I'd like to have a football helmet to wear out on dog walks. There's no place to take the dogs where sticks aren't falling down.
We have a 5 hour power outage this afternoon. For our area that's a quick fix.
oh noes! poor little car...
Oh no! So sorry.
We've battened down the hatches up our way, too, but it's gonna be a long night...
We are expecting that storm tonight and into tomorrow. There are a number if iffy trees in the yard that could come down. Or not. It hasn't rained too much so the soil isn't too soft. Last summer after a ton of rain, it didn't take much for the trees to come down in the wind.
Bummer! At least it missed the shed. Plant something nice in its place. You're the flora expert. What would be a "safe" tree with lots of oxygen producing leaves? Should we all plant aspens?
Oh yikes!
Oh gosh. I hope the rest of the storm passed without incident. Trees are much better when they aren't falling down on cars.
Oh, dear! So sorry, Alwen.
We lost an aspen recently, but it fell across the lawn and didn't damage anything. Hope you can get that fixed OK.
Holy crap! Glad nobody got hurt. This must be the kind of thing that actuaries live for, how do you determine whether this falls under homeowners or automotive insurance?
