Windstorm took down a 100 foot willow this morning

I was standing at my kitchen sink tired as hell this morning because the winds we had overnight were noisy as hell. 75mph gusts here, 120 recorded in the canyons. I heard a rumble, the house started trembling and I watched this massive willow 30 feet off our kitchen tip the fuck over, crash through our gate, and land in the street. So now I have
that to deal with.

Any dead relative buried under there?

No shit right? The damn root ball is the size of my TJ. I’m going to spend the afternoon limbing it & dragging chunks out of the street with my recovery gear.

Damn, that had to have been quite a wind gust

Talked to the insurance adjuster, they said they'll only cover the removal costs for what is inside my yard which is like 4 feet worth . What the fuck, it was my tree that used to be in my yard, but now 95% of it outside my yard & needs to be limbed and hauled away. I love insurance companies.
