That tree darn near got hit by that car! It's a good thing it's flexible and was able to get out of the way.

Don't discount mother nature. We got hit by a Tornado and had a large 80ft oak come down.

Looking at it, it looked like it wiped out a corner of the house and set my neighbors into a massive panic.

On close inspection though, the branches laid down on each side of the corner.

It didn't bother the gutters, it didn't dent the aluminum siding or damage the house at all.

This is what I found this morning:

No damage to anything, fortunately. The driveway was cleared in a couple of hours. I will take the last two pieces of the trunk out with the tractor tomorrow since the rain and lightning did not let me finish today.

30 or so years ago, on a quiet Sunday afternoon. The little ones and my wife were napping. I was in my chair, reading. Nothing going on. Pleasant weather, sunny, nothing but a light breeze. Then I heard a snap, then a loud cracking, then a louder crash. Went to look out on the backyard, and there was 60 feet of alianthus laid neatly across the back yard. There was a row of them down one side of the yard and one of them had just gotten tired and laid down, almost perfectly at right angles to the fence. The top leaves were brushing the fence on the other side of the yard.

Nothing damaged, nobody hurt.

I hate ailanthus.
