First storm of the season
This is what happened at 4am Friday at the end of our street. It was a Douglass Fir. Fortunately did not fall on a house, but snapped the power lines, and we were without power till mid-day Sunday. Dave hooked up the generator a few times to run the refridgerator and the well pump, so we got showers and kept food from spoiling. Our trusty wood stove kept us cozy warm. More storms forecast ahead, and now that the ground is saturated, everyone's nervous about all the rest of the big trees around here.

Yeesh! We've had some rain but nothing too stormy. I guess we don't worry as much about falling trees here because it rarely rains enough for the ground to get saturated. That did happen two years ago. We had enough rain to flood my dad's basement. This was a house on a hill. The hill was made of mostly decomposed granite. We're talkin' drainage. But it did rain enough that year to saturate the ground.
