RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 09/16/18> Business as usual … if there is such a thing.
That is one huge oak! A tree that is hard, hard. You will indeed have a big job ahead @sultnpapper. We were hit by hurricane Irma...just last week we finally got the screen cage installed on our lanai...hit by a tornado during the hurricane, more damage. Perhaps your tree was damaged by Harvey but managed to make it until a storm blew through. That looks like a tree that has been there for many years! I bet it was beautiful in the day.
It was a big old tree and it was rotted pretty good at the base and up a good eight feet of the trunk. When the storm that took it down rolled in it was from the opposite direction of Harvey's winds and that was evidently the angle that was needed to snap it off.
It will be a lot of work but at least the weather will be cooler when I tackle it this fall or winter.
Those hurricanes are bad news for sure and spawn bunches of tornadoes. Glad that all it took out was the enclosure and not your house.
