We've been having a spate of rainy weather over the past two weeks. Wind, too! You may recall that our electricity was off for 21 hours due to a tree limb tripping a breaker or something on the power line. AND, the day after it was fixed, we got a notice while at the casino with Genius that our power was off AGAIN, due to a limb falling on a line. At least that was fixed before we got home.
The Pony had sent us one picture of a tree down on a car from his route during the storm where our power went out. While we were in the casino with Genius, he sent another two pictures.
One of his work friends was on this route, and just getting ready to cross the street when a tree in that yard fell over! It happens to be on a street just past the Dead Mouse Smelling Post Office, where I drive by on my way to do my errands every Thursday.
That's a BIG tree. Though not as big as the pecan tree over at Pony House.
I'm really glad that thing is on the ground now!
You could have saved money taking down the pecan tree if you just waited for a good storm...then again, you might have lost the Pony House.
ReplyDeleteHick could probably have built The Pony a nice Keebler-Elf style apartment inside the fallen pecan tree!
DeleteHow lucky is that family to have the tree fall away from the house and not onto it.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! I drove by today, and there was a little old lady with a hose, watering the yard. All the debris is gone. Part of that nice metal fence is bent.
DeleteYIKES!!
ReplyDeleteThe USPS might need to add "Toppling Tree" to that Snow, Rain, Heat, Gloom of Night motto.
