It had falling during the night , had it fallen while I was there it would have fallen on me and my truck killing me and possibly 5 Females eating at a nearby pick nick table.. the largest branches completely filled the parking space I was in.............lesson learned ... do not park under leaning trees no matter the Weather..that was too close. the stump was 32 in across..


I consider the guys next to me getting shot and I didn't a "close" call.

That just sounds lucky, but hours away from "close."

I spend a lot of time there feeding the squirrels , I was lucky I left when I did..there was no storm of any kind... no wind or anything to cause the tree to fall.. except Heat it was 92 most of the day..
