Windy weather makes for good wood harvesting

[JBW450]

I'm always on the lookout for fallen limbs after windy days.

Scored this today, found it fallen across a public bike/walking track.

The way I see it I was doing the general public a solid by removing it from the path.

I didn't even have to go looking for downed trees after our last big windstorm. One came looking for me.

Yikes any damage?

Yikes any damage?

Surprisingly little. About 10 feet of gutter was crushed. No apparent roof damage. On the way down, the tree took out a 4' retaining wall, and between pushing all of the blocks, and a fair bit of the lawn behind them out of the way, the fall was apparently slowed tremendously. It didn't even hurt the deck railing.
