Wow! Sometimes fortune shines on us.
A week ago my daughter borrowed my Lincoln Town Car and while it was gone a large limb from my hundred year old Live Oak tree fell right where I keep it parked!

Coupla expensavo logs for your fireplace!
Sounds like a Buster Keaton movie.
Wow, that’s a collector’s item!
My crystal ball didn’t warn me, lol.
Could have been a more expensive event. Yeah, the wood will get used.
Heading off now.

Lowrider Lincolns are rare!
If a tree falls on a man’s house and he’s the only one to hear it does his insurance still cover it?
At Berry College (In Rome GA) we had a large, large Oak fall over last nigh near a chapel. Luckly it didn’t hit anything, but it just goes to show how powerful these storms have been around her the last couple of nights
He Built a Crooked House?
Wow, that’s a sharp cut! Maybe he should have had more structure in the house to spread the load out more.
wow!
about two years ago...the FIRST time hubby and i decided to leave all the kids home alone. a HUGE tree broke and took out the garage(a few feet from the house)
never fails...
We had a large cottonwood tree fall on our mobile home in Valdez years ago. If hubby hadn’t built in a solid “room divider” some months earlier, the tree would have landed right on his head as he lay on the sofa. Somewhere in my mishmosh, I still have pictures of the damage. Cottonwoods in the area are notorious for rotting from the inside and falling over without apparent cause.
This large cottonwood failed because of root rot. The light tan areas above are where the large roots have broken apart. The large roots had advanced stages of decay. Smaller roots, the rope like structures shown above, could not support the mass of the tree. Decay in the root system is rarely visible
Dad was drunk when he built this one....
This time mom and dad were drunk and the kids that were helping were stoned...
