As I've mentioned before, our tiny house has eight huge trees in the back yard. Four are shade trees, four are pine trees.
One week ago, the dog and I narrowly escaped death when a huge pine branch plummeted to the ground, just after we had been in the yard. Initially, I thought it might have been a random rotten branch.
No more. We have had thunderstorms nearly every day this past week, and with every storm, more large, rotted branches are coming down. Thankfully, none have done any damage to the house, the electrical wires, or the AC unit.
One huge branch is hanging precariously above the back door, even as I write this. This one's a monster, and it will definitely produce the big bang when it falls.
When we moved in, the landlord mentioned that he should "do something" about the trees, but he never did. Now nature is taking its course, and the branches are coming down about us, and, with the house being foreclosed upon, the landlord isn't about to spend the money now to address the tree situation.
The forecast for this afternoon is for more thunderstorms with high winds. Hopefully, when the hanging branch comes down, it will clear the house as the others have...
