Got home from work on Wednesday and "thought" that all was not too bad for Hurricane Michael blowing through our area . . . actually, by 5:00 PM the storm was already past our area, there were blue skies above, and the sun was shining . . .
Then got home and found out that the power was out at the house - so out comes the generator, get it running, hooked up, and get the house on generator power . . . the power was restored to my area right around 9:00 PM . . . not too bad . . .
Decided to take the puppy dog for a walk and that when I discovered this . . . my neighbor across the street has a downed Oak Tree . . .
Now, this picture is a bit deceiving, and you can't tell the true size of this tree . . .
So today while I was helping him clean up and haul the tree - put my tractor next to it . . .
Now you can appreciate the actual size of this tree . . .
See the two toned cut off branch in the above picture, which is about 50-60 feet up the tree, here's the size of that branch . . .
While helping him with the clean up - I saw that had another tree fall by his barn . . .
And I thought RUH ROH . . . this cannot be good . . .
But - unbelievable - he must have been on his best behavior, because you could NOT have ever dropped this tree as precisely as it fell with the winds . . .
A little close view of the fall . . .
Whether is was clean living, or pure good luck . . . this one worked out for him ! ! !
And the cause of the power outage at my house . . . another downed tree about 2 miles from my house . . .
