Someone must have been thinking spring a little too hard because the winds of destruction have fallen upon our yard and downed a huge old (and apparently unstable but who knew?) tree. It's hard to get the scope of things in the photos but it spans most of our back yard and is going to be a doozy of a cleanup, though it could not have been a more lucky fall. It didn't come close to our house or even the fence for that matter, just squashed a couple of other trees on the way down.
The split where the part of the tree fell is more than 10 feet off the ground. The trunk is 3-4 feet wide at its widest point. And when I was out there taking pictures it was creaking and moaning at me as though it was going to send the other half of the still standing tree my way as well. Yikes!
