tree it would have hit my truck, too, which i moved to where it is in the picture. that's my pretty little powder blue mailbox. power was out for ten hours. |

below where the tree was rooted is a little culvert. i think the tree fell because of erosion complicated by the soft soaked earth. if that's the case, there are a few more trees that are candidates for going over. one is big enough that if it falls the right way it could do some damage to my property, but otherwise it would just be a matter of knocked out powerlines, etc. |

can you have the trees taken out before they fall? or is there some anti-erosion thing that can be done. it looks like a little paradise there. lucky you! |
i dunno. or if i don't fuck with it, god will make sure nothing hits my shit. |
The theory is that the city has the right to maintain and cut trees close to the road to prevent them from falling and causing a hazard to drivers and to power lines. So you could make a case, Nate, and convince them that erosion along the culvert constitutes a danger, so if they don't do anything, not only have you warned them, but they would be liable by not having acted. Good luck! |
i'm disappointed, they keep saying we're going to have another big exciting storm and i haven't seen anything of it. it's rainy and a little windy here, but it's really not very impressive. i thought there was thunder earlier, but it turned out to be the neighbor's meat delivery. and yes, the city/country ought to take out those trees. |
up here in my nice little town you can fart in the wrong direction and knock the power out. |
