Have you had a lot of rain? That had to be some high wind to get a dormant tree to uproot like that. Are all your shingles still on the roof?!

dutch · Jan 19, 2018

yea, I still have house and shop with no damage [cl The are a couple of huge 200-300yr old oaks next to the house that had me scared for a few hrs, but they held up just fine...

Wow that must have been nasty

It's amazing how the root balls do in a wind.
After a lot of rain and high winds is about the only time trees around here fall.

That's insane! Glad the house and shop are OK, sucks about the ol trees!

The estate my house is on has lost 250-300 trees... most big old oaks and beech. Sucks and looks sad to me too, but many were not in great condition. I looked at an old oak today, about 6ft wide, it looked like it had exploded... snapped right off at 8ft from the ground. I`ll go around and get some pics this week.
