Welp…I hope our trailer isn’t crushed but it could be. 😣😖😩😭 #PineappleExpress2024
That was terrifying when it hit! It’s really unstable and wobbly.
@NorCalCherylLyn damn glad your ok, just loaded the truck up grabbed the Rotties daughter GDaughter and her new born loaded in her suv, drove down the road where there are n trees, couldn’t do anything for the chickens, Tallest redwood looks like it’s going to crash tru the 2d story 57MPH wind shifted , we are safe now you need to leave the area too Cheryl Lyn! Please stay safe
@SupplySgt glad you’re safe! It’s scary as hell out there. Really hope your trees stay up but I can’t see how any are still standing in this.
@NorCalCherylLyn yeah it is, if they are still standing they’ll be removed in a few days, got a message in to our tree guy, had the oaks removed a few years ago those are the last of the big ones, not worried about the fruit orchard, how much damage did you get, saw your pics but it’s hard to tell
@SupplySgt we really won’t know about the damage until we get the tree off. It could be ok if nothing else falls on it. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
The rest of that line of trees is getting cut short if not taken out asap. Naturally it was the biggest one that fell… 🤦🏻♀️
I lived under a canopy of massive old growth trees for 40 years. I miss the land and the river, but I do not miss being terrified every time the wind roared!
I'm sorry you are going through this tonight Cheryl! 😘
@MerakiLife @SupplySgt yeah there are great pluses for trees around your home but size matters…a lot! With the winds increasing and the fires also clearance is so important.
@MerakiLife @SupplySgt the other large one in the line is being uprooted too. Ground is cracking around it. Need to get it topped at least but I think will need a Pro for that. 🫣🫣🫣
@NorCalCherylLyn @SupplySgt
Even more importantly than size is root ball mass. Some trees like firs have very shallow roots for their height meaning they topple easily. Deciduous trees also need more shaping and branches trimmed if they are in yards. Most of us have to spend our money on things other than tree trimming services.
