A tree fell on my shop today.

Trees only count if you hit them head on.

Did it make a sound?

Might be time to cut your losses and move Hottarod

Car is ok. Few holes in my shop roof but I can fix those. When I had my shop built I had the roof joists oversized. It helped keep the tree from coming on down. I have managed to cut most of it away but its a huge clean up job. My neighbor saw it and said it didn't just free fall. The tree split and half of it came down. It was sort of a soft hit which probably saved me.

That is just perfect! LMAO!

Hott, sorry about the roof! Looks like even Mother nature can be a vandal now and then.

Shop tree carnage. 2 trees fell now.

Dead tree 1 in on the right and live tree 2 is on the left. I now have 5 holes to patch in my shop roof but that is easy enough to do. We had 70 mph winds in this. The dead zone at the bottom of this photo used to all be St Augustine grass until last summer's drought and weeks of 110 degree days. It did no good to water it even at night because the ground was so hot that it cooked all the grass.
