A 50' pine tree in my backyard fell over yesterday around noon due to extremely high winds.
A few of my kids had literally JUST been outside on the patio picking up worms and putting them in the planters surrounding the tree.
The tree fell in the second best spot it could have fallen, only damaging a corner of the roof on the garage and some fencing. We have a little tree that my wife hates which actually saved the neighbor's house and most of our fence.
I should add that one of the kid's plastic play houses was crushed, but it folded up in such a way that it should be salvageable. AMAZING!!
The wife wanted this pine tree gone and now the insurance is paying for it, YAY!!
Only bad news is that I was looking forward to having this week off from work, but now I'm busy clearing the yard, cutting up logs, and hauling/sorting it all.
