We were surprised we didn't hear the break |
This shot shows the weakness in the tree so there is a reason it succumbed to the ferocious wind last night |
Sigh... |
Another view... |
So so sad about this loss |
"If a tree dies, plant another in its place."- Linnaeus
...And that is exactly what we plan to do; I'm just deciding what kind of tree to plant.

Thank the Lord it didn't hit your house! I hate to see a tree go, it takes so many years for a new one to reach the size of the one you lost.
Yes, you are lucky it did not hit your house. Believe me I know how you feel. When the tornado took our big pines, I was just sick but the Japanese Lilac and the Sugar Gum Maple are nicely filling in. It just takes so much time to achieve the look that now I feel we'll never see. Our condolences to you and Mark and so sorry for your loss!!!! :( JoAnn
Oh dear.............how sad. I agree with the others...thankful that it didn't hit the house.
