We have a huge maple tree in our backyard that is in the middle of the property line of our neighbors.
This tree is old and branches fall quite often, but nothing like what fell to the ground on Wednesday. First one branch fell, which is about 15 feet at least. I was just about to walk in the backyard to get a better look at the damage to my fence and to see just how big this branch was, when my 4 year old called me into the living room to show me something she "wants for her birthday" on the TV, just as I was walking back through the house to exit my back door, down came this branch that made you stand in awe for a couple of minutes. This branch is at least 40 to 50 feet in length and just missed my garage by about a 1/2 a foot. The branch broke more of the fence and one of my bird feeders, but still amazes me how it missed my garage by just a hair. The ironic thing is that my home insurance will only cover the clean-up and removal of the tree branch if it WOULD have hit my garage, plus cover the damages to the garage. My pictures don't show the mass volume of the tree but you can get the idea.
Thankfully no one was injured and it shows what the power of mother nature can do.
