House

By Uncle Hans

  You all remember the big windstorm we had on July 1st, Renee and I were almost killed by a freak accident where a tree fell on us while motorcycling.  This house in Grantsburg was one of probably 200 that was damaged that night.

....I noticed the other day that they were finally getting around to fixing the house.....

......this is the tree that fell on the house.  It was huge, but you can't tell from this angle how huge....

    .........you can't really tell from this angle either, but you can see it was not broken off, but uprooted.......

.....here you can see that the diameter is at least 5 FEET.  That is a semi trailer parked next to it.  This was no small tree.  imagine g-force needed to uproot such a monster?
I am glad this beast did not fall on us.........
