No power = no water no furnace ~ well the top 15-20 feet of a standing dead gets blown off by a gust of wind and pooooffft ```
This morning about 6:30 the power company come with heavy equipment and got the power on in no time ```
I had planned to cut down some standing dead this morning ```

I'll show the top that broke off and took out the power line in later photos ```

What kind of trees are those, Richard? They look kinda like pines, but not totally.
At least when ours fell, it wasn't near any power lines.

The power company may/should send out Arbor fellows to bring that scag down ~ I called them last year ~ told the girl of the standing dead ~ but I could tell she wasn't interested ```
