De and Cap'n.

Captain's unfortunate tree episdoe is exactly why I removed all trees in my yard near my house and am removing a couple the stupid neighbors on both sides planted on the property line and are now over 70 foot tall and threatening my house. They will be gone this summer. I already have permission to remove them, as I have the right to remove all of it that overhangs my property, but it will be safer if we do it right.

There is no accounting for people without a brain who plants a tree on the property line and thinks it will stay small for life.

Inconsiderate bastards..

Nemo:

Re: "This is the corner of house after I tree fell on that old Volvo I just restored. Missed the house though. "Wow. That was a close call! What type of tree was that?

We had a wooded back yard in one of the Virginia houses. There were two close calls that convinced me that I didn't ever want to live in the woods again. One storm snapped a huge tree in our back yard and it knocked down two others as it fell! We're just lucky that they weren't falling toward the house because they could have reached it easily.

A house on the same block was more or less totaled in that same storm when an oak tree in the front yard fell on it. (The "derecho" of 2012 was about the weirdest storm ever. It lasted less than half an hour but packed 85 mph winds and took out power for most of Fairfax county for a week.)

Pretty incredible photos, Nemo. I think that's the first time you've ever posted most of 'em!

Why'd you leave Orcas island?
