I saw where makuu222 had some gutters ripped off due to the high winds the other night. We had no real damage. But we have a line of podocarpus trees that are very high. I saw branches that night waving around and getting too close to our power line. So I trimmed them the next night. The trees are actually on my neighbors property.
The lot (in HPP) back to back with ours had an albezia tree snap off at the base in the lot next door and fall onto their lot. The lot the tree fell from is undeveloped and overgrown. I'd say the base of the trunk is about 18" thick. Glad we had a huge one removed right after we moved here a few years back.
My daughter's place on 3rd and Makuu had a problem. She had a bunch of rabbit cages under a vanilla bean tree for shade. The vanilla bean tree uprooted and was laying on top of a 2x4 rabbit cage holding structure. I don't have a chain saw, so took my trusty hand saws down yesterday and had to carefully find way to clean up this mess. The cage holder was supporting the weight of the tree as it fell onto the structure. I had to delimb in the right order so as to take the weight off the cages as I worked my way through it. Got it done with no more damage. Some bent cages and one cage was knocked about 3 feet to the ground when the tree was blown over, but all bunnies are fine.
As we drove through the park I was surprised I didn't see more damage and limbs and downed trees etc. How did everyone else make out?
