Most our forest of Tulip Poplars is about 50 years old I think. Very tall and probably brittle. I am on the top of a hill so hopefully most of the saturation has gone down the hill.
We’re 1/3 the way down on a rolling hillside that used to be pasture about a mile from the Octorora. The road is up near the top. There are some old oaks across the street and I hope they hold through the storm. I’ve got norway spruce wind breaks on the north, east and partially on the west - they have worked well in the past. I’m praying that the power doesn’t go out but I know that would be a minor miracle.
