Windstorms in Atlanta, Georgia, uprooted several trees, including this one that fell through John Kiefer's home.

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!

Sounds like a Buster Keaton movie.

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

Wow, that’s a sharp cut! Maybe he should have had more structure in the house to spread the load out more.

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.

I think this is going to be a poplar topic.
