Similar thing even happens in the desert. After a good soak in rain you do not want to be out hiking where there are a lot of Cholla cactus above you and have the wind kick up. It will rain Cholla limbs on you. And they bounce around like superballs. Not lethal, but it can be very seriously incapacitating.

“”Dutta was pinned by the trunk of the 200-foot-tall (61-meter-tall) tree and died at the scene. The trunk measured more than 4 feet (1 meter) in diameter.””
And he didn’t see it coming?
If you are in a Redwood forest and a Redwood tree starts to fall (or collapse?), get yourself behind a different Redwood tree. You’ll be safe.

“Day after Christmas”
So, would 10 days, or 42 days, or maybe 102 days be more appropriate? I mean, are you suggesting that you’re only compassionate during Christmas? I saw a dead snake in my yard this morning, and I was wondering if you can join me in a candlelight vigil tonight and have a good cry.
