Watching the news made me wonder what kind of morons allow those
atiquated huge trees right along side their homes. If you were lucky
enough to escape disaster this time have those trees removed
immediately, you may not be so lucky next time. Those types of trees
should never have been planted near a house anyway, there are plenty
of trees to choose that grow to more appropriate sizes. And of course
the highway and utility crews are remiss in not doing their jobs
either, they should be removing all trees that if they fall can take
down utility wires and/or fall across a roadway. There is no reason
to plant street trees that will grow fifty feet tall and as wide.
Those sycamore trees that were planted along your town's streets a
hundred years ago were cute then, but now they are eighty feet tall,
weigh over ten tons, and are all rotten inside. Gorgeous but I'd not
want to live on this street:
