Thank you, Wheelbase! I passed this onto my hubby and the kids. They don’t have as much in their yard, but it’s a good reminder to us. Praying none of the pines fall on our house!
I mentioned ice storms in my last post to you and you just mentioned pines.
Old pines are usually pretty steady in high winds. Tops whip around and some branches break off. Problem for all trees around here is lots of rain before a high wind event. It softens the ground and allows trees to be blown over roots and all.
You can get forecasted wind directions and then go outside and take a look at the trees around your house and potential fall areas. Nothing to get spooked about but just wouldn’t let somebody sleep in an upstairs bedroom that might catch a tree.
And ice storms - don’t park under a pine tree. The branches get weighted down with ice and when they break a good many of them spin and come down branch first. If your car is under it it might take a branch right through it.
