Tree bomb control legislation needed.
I’m more worried about the atmospheric rivers and bomb cyclones I never heard about until a few years ago. Solar storms.
I seem to remember having read of a tribe that referred to the January full moon as “Moon of Trees Popping.” I guess it goes back quite a ways. That is one of the scariest sounds I have ever heard. It is hard to tell just where it is coming from and is always followed by the boom of an entire tree or heavy branch hitting the ground.
Being on that spot of ground would not be a good thing.
DRAMA!!!!
Great name for a band.
It is these tree bombs that are a threat to everyone. It is ironic that those irrational Chicken Littles who cry “Global Warming!” can get a hit in the ass from frozen trees.
Had a neighbor who had a dozen or so pine trees along his back property line. After one January ice storm he was left with a dozen or so telephone poles. We sat and watched them one by one the tops would bend over until they snapped off with a loud ‘pop’ and crashing to the ground.

I heartily recommend Max Velocity’s YouTube channel.
He and Riley are accurate, highly informative, and fun to watch.
And Max, if you’re lurking, hi to Cheese Curd!

Yes, a real, but RARE phenomenon. The scare media makes appear like whole forests are going to explode in a gigantic mushroom cloud taking down civilization itself. Of course the usual claptrap that this is due to “climate change.”
What should be of more concern is that these polar vortices will cause the forests of wind turbines that blight the Midwest to freeze up during a period of peak demand for electric heating and cause widespread blackouts from lack of adequate back up sources of power. This has happened several times in Texas.
Yeah.. they’re getting far to descriptive on weather alerts. It’s yet another attempt to grab attention for a normal occurrence.
“RARE!” When I lived in Wisconsin every early February we had a week of 27-30 below zero. Tree prepare for this, during the fall and winter the volume of water in the tree is reduced, which mitigate any freezing damage.
Ok, after reading the excerpt, I’ll just leaf now.
How bout exploding ICE protestors?
We prefer Ryan Hall to Max...
NOT looking forward to the ice they are now predicting we will get. I would have preferred the snow. I just know the power is going to go out...
The absolute effing stupidity never ceases when it comes to journalism. We live in a forest where temps get down to minus 40 degrees. Never, not once has a tree ever exploded.
Just where do these mindless maggots come up with this crap? Is this the new scare that replaces glowbull warming? Are we now supposed to be afraid the earth is going to explode from being too cold? What will the brainwashed generations do now that their glowbull warming is now second place to glowbull cooling?
Growing up in Alaska in the 70’s and 80’s...I don’t know how I survived the exploding trees every winter. /s
I’ve been living in the very cold climate of Canada for the past 63 years and I’ve seen some brutally cold winters... I am surrounded by lots and lots of trees and I don’t ever recall ever seeing one explode... Empirical evidence that this exploding tree claim is complete BS... But I’m pretty sure they have somebody who claims they’ve seen exploding trees before... Just like All Gore can see the rocks on top of Mount Kilimanjaro, when it has been covered in snow for as long as humans have known it and it still continues to be covered in snow.
OMG! Our country has turned into a bunch of wusses. “Plunging to -20°”... It’s winter, for crying out loud. We were stationed in northern Maine in the 1980’s, the only time the kids didn’t have outdoor recess was when the temps hit -30°!
