40 mph gusts today in CT. I Hear I huge clatter, like lightening & thunder. I look out ... a 70-foot hemlock crashed near the house ... took the top half of another hemlock with it on the way down.

I dodged a bullet, it’s 30 feet from my house and 30 feet from the neighbor’s. It missed everything.

It’s odd ... Cuz the tree was alive. Usual only the dead hemlocks fall.

Wow. It is also very windy up here in MA, but nicer weather ahead, praise God. .

Wow! That was a lucky break! We had those winds the other day - nothing fell, but Mother Nature did a lot of the ‘raking’ for me! Yay! :)
