And no one hears it. etc. etc. etc.
Well the weekend brought us a nice 10" snowfall. By Monday/Tuesday the temps were up in 50's, and actually touched 60 yesterday, which of course melted all the snow. This left the ground fairly well saturated and nice and soft.
Bring in the wind. It got real windy overnight and early this morning. Wind gusts exceeding 50mph were recorded in nearby towns.
And I woke up to this.
I am pretty sure that Pine tree was not there yesterday.
Got lucky though. It is resting on the side of the hill and did no damage to my shed or to my old reliable '86 F150.

Opps.
At least the shed survived.
I Had a big tree come down on my house once. It caused 55,000 worth of damage to the house and pool.
It cost 7,000 just to have it cut up and haul the branches out. The wood I kept for fire wood. I ended up with two rows 8 ft high and each were 30 feet long. Were talking a big tree here.
Mine situation was a tornado. Yes a tornado in So Cal. It twisted right off at the truck that was over 9 feet in circumference.

(I guess you could drag it forward or backward and hope it clears the shed before it falls down the rest of the way)

Well, I was able to push the tree back a few feet using the plow on the '86 F150. The top of the tree is now behind the roof of the shed, so probably no longer a danger. When the weather gets a little nicer, I'll take it down in pieces with my chainsaw.
If I cut down another couple of trees that are about ready to fall, it might be worthwhile to get someone with a portable sawmill to come in and cut me some usable lumber.
If a tree falls in the forest .....
