Ernesto

[h2co-pilot]

I heard scorpions often run to homes for shelter during such storms.

We were supposed to see winds like that as well and it wasn't even close to half as bad as our afternoon thunderstorms. Just tape your house up and you will be fine

That price for the tree isn't bad really. I also have an 80'+ tree that just all of the sudden died a few weeks ago. Luckily it would just barely reach the house with some of the top branches if it does come down.

DAMN!!!!!!! I had about 20 trees removed around our house getting ready to tear down and build anew. BIIIGGG trees. 2 - 36"+ trees that were right next to the house. A couple of them were smaller and dead but we only paid $2000 to have the trees taken down. They hauled most of the tree tops off and then I had someone come in and get the trunks for free (they hauled them away and, I didn't have to pay, and they took them to a lumber yard and sold them, so that's how they made their money)

I would guess half the trees had to be climbed, delimbed and taken down in sections. Some of the others were topped and then were felled by using rope and a truck.

I've used a winch several times to take a tree down and keep it from falling towards the way it was leaning.

I told Kenny to climb his azz up there.

Heck, I'm going to dew it myself and buy me shumptin schweet!

(Can you imagine?....)

I think I am in Ernesto right now! It is crazy outside. I can't find my camera.

Yeah, it seems the second band (or whatever) is coming through now.

I really wish I could find the camera. The huge dead tree is still holding. I didn't expect so much wind ect. I have lived here all my life and been through a lot of storms, and this is nothing, but I just didn't expect it and blew it off. Kind of a surprise when I woke up.
