Psa, watch for falling trees

[timbgtm]

My sister's house was barely damaged by a falling tree. With strong winds today and flash flooding can cause trees to fall.

I am still dealing with the remnants of two huge trees falling last September ! Took out about 250’ chainlink fence, fortunately they missed the house.
But left an expensive mess

This reminds me of a short little story... Back when I lived in Florida, there was a time when an AT&T guy came to our house to do some kind of service. He had just finished up and was doing some paperwork while sitting in his van which was parked on the street in front of our house. He decided to check one last thing so he got out, came up to our house, and then...

I heard the sound of wood cracking followed by the loud, unnatural sound of metal being instantaneously crushed. I went out and saw what you see in the pictures above. That's when he told us that he had gotten out of the driver's seat only about 30 seconds before the tree ended up coming down.

But hey, at least those safety cones were there, right?
