Proof that poop happens.

Go hit a softball with a bat a couple of inches above your fingers and then at the end of the bat and see which way hits the ball farther and harder.

This is true it's why you get inside the arc of a bat if someone swings it at you. No fun really, but get inside a hook and punch them right in the bicep instead of receiving a haymaker.

You don't know much about the force of nature and physics do you...

Take a REAL good look...

Best answer

Looks like the walls were sheeted with blueboard, too.

Built some of those gems in the eighties.

Big oaks weigh twenty plus tons and mash stuff. One option, run. Sleeping, your done, game over.

Big difference from mostly just a single main trunk blasting through a house compared to a 40’ wide top landing on a house.
Sucks for dude in said house. Not a job that would give ya warm fuzzy feelings, cleaning that one up.

I just got home, me and the chief went to eat after to discuss it...I had the heebie jeebies being in there tonight.

Hearing his wife talk to her brother in law on the phone and asking us while we were there to grab some sentimental *s-word out of the house was fukkin rough.

The Hemlock had much more wind resistance anyway, it just couldn't build up the speed even if dropped from a helicopter.

It was a micro burst. So all that canopy was the reason it got pushed. Chestnuts looked like they had been in a twister.

I'd try my best to pass on such a job

And all them branches help break the fall and spread the impact rather than having more or less one pole slamming down.

The box spring he was laying on was in the dining room buried in debris...walking through there was creepy as hell.

I think you still fail to realize it snapped a healthy trunk over roof. Nothing like that is a soft landing.

That's pretty much irrelevant.

 

[Absolution]

That's pretty much irrelevant.

How so?

 

[sawmikaze]

How so?

It built no speed. Plus the nature of a hemlock with its branches to disperse the impact...it's simple really.
