hardtail Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Looks like a lot of force for 60mph must have come in hard 🥺 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky966boy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Yea I got new skylights in 3 different barns , trees down, got truck stuck trying to get to cows . Fun afternoon but nothing that can’t be fixed.

I believe it burns like styrofoam. Anything that grows that fast tends to not have a lot of heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ_alabama Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 We had the 60mph winds here too. I had one tree down on a fence. Neighbor had a awning roof over a Hardy Heater in the yard that wound up on the house (broke one rafter in the house). Pretty lucky the leaves weren’t in the trees after the ground had been soaked so thoroughly from earlier rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finney Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 I have the big pine tree that was blocking the drive cleaned up except for the log which we aim to take it to the mill. I am thinking about leaving the willow trees laying where they are until fall and burning them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
