Impending Doom
It was 50° today, so Sebastian decided to play out in the back yard. I had to go along, of course, but I didn't mind. Heck, it's a privilege.
But while we were out back I noticed that one of the main trunks of a nearby tree in our neighbor's yard was broken - the branch was leaning on an adjoining tree!
This "branch" is more than a foot across at the break. By the look of it, if (when) it falls it will quite possibly smash our roof in - either on the porch, or in Sebastian's room. The den where I'm typing this right now is more at risk than Sebastian's room is, come to think of it. Eeek!
There's also a fairly heavy branch that could easily smash into our neighbor's house, too - depending on how the tree falls.
I don't know what caused it; maybe the heavy ice a few weeks ago? Anyway, we went over to tell our neighbors. The break wasn't really visible on their side, but when they saw it they were pretty shocked. They have a tree guy, though, so they'll have it taken care of.
The trunk is unlikely to hit us tonight; the tree it's leaning on brackets it on both sides with pretty sturdy branches. But a heavy snow and/or wind could have caused a VERY big disaster! And there's no question that the tree would have come down in a year or two.
