Default Just got lucky....

MAN DOWN! 45 foot tall, well it used to be tall, pine tree....
The trunk is just over 1 foot in diameter....
Lucky it didn't fall through the garage....

Pic 1: It doesn't look so big now...

Pic 2: We got lucky two more times as these two trees fell without
taking out our power, cable and phone lines.

Pic 3: Our not so lucky neighbor lost the back end of her Jeep,
as well as having a little light house damage, just gutters I think.

Forget the house, just spare the garage!

Great news man, but it fell about 7 weeks too late.
