Had a big storm roll through about a week ago. It was one of those we get here in Northern Indiana every now and then. 60 mile an hour winds that wacked about a 1/2 mile wide by 3 mile strip through our area. Lasted about 6 minutes. Neighbor had a Hickory come down and being the resident woodpecker in our neighborhood I got it.
There's a lot of great wood there! The roots snapped off pretty good. Give us some pictures of the inside, when you slice it up.
Wow Iceman, that was a close call! Did it get part of the facia? You'll have lots of good burning wood there! I hope any damage is minimal.
Ummm yeah, you don't get any closer of a fall without serious damage. How big around is that hickory?
Nice tree. Glad it didn't do any more damage to the house. Just find ya a nice pig up there and have a great BBQ.
Close only counts in Horseshoes and Hand grenades.....that’s just ridiculous Have fun cutting it up Iceman7668 and bring a change of shorts over to your neighbor
Oh yeah. My wife and I spent a couple years in northern Indiana so we know what those storms are like. Nasty. Neighbor was a bit lucky there and you too. Sometimes it is nice being the neighborhood woodpecker!
