They were saying 50mph gusts. With heavy snow that would have been extremely dangerous. I have 2 trees close to the house. The closest one is questionable.
I had eleven trees taken out of my property and even I couldn’t tell, they are that many trees. It’s just sheer luck that of all the trees that have fallen (knock on wood), our house has never been hit. Gotta pray that our luck holds out.
I hear you. We had two storms where trees came down on our old house. In the second storm, a tree hit the house and then came down on my jeep. Trees are beautiful, but they can be very destructive and dangerous when subjected to high winds and/or heavy snow. We’d like to take down some of the trees that are encroaching on our house, but it’s expensive.
