Always nice to show up and see that they mostly got lucky
Looks like Portland, OR is getting hammered right now, TONS of big firs down all over the place.

2 people dead and many Portland-area homes destroyed after high winds knock over trees
Two people died Saturday after a tree came down on an RV in Portland and a home in Lake Oswego. Others saw neighborhoods destroyed by fallen trees.

It took me more than a minute to figure that out! That's awesome.
It was a Tamarind tree with a codominant stem that got basal rot and fell. That was how the main piece settled. All that weight, I had cut away most, was supported by that small piece of holding wood. Incredible in my opine.

That's basically what I thought. I thought maybe you were involved in it going sideways, but close enough.

Orchard pruning in the rain, today.
We had cold, but no snow.

The temp is rising now and starting to rain, snow is both melting and getting VERY heavy now, trees are going down all over the place. My buddy is the county road guy for our tiny tiny island and he had to cut 8 off the road just today.
I think we are going to wake up to a big mess in the morning.

We haven't had considerable storm damage in a while.
You guys are tough to handle that kind of weather, I would hibernate.
Honestly, in my area winters are quite mild, this only happens a few times a year and only for a few days. Other parts of the country they work in snow and below freezing for months at a time. No thanks on that for me.
More downed trees though after exploring the island end to end, including a pretty huge mess blocking an entire road that is like 5 uprooted trees tangled together. Probably deal with it tomorrow. Snow is melting rapidly as temps rise and rain continues.
And also got the Milwaukee battery pole saw just today while checking the roads. After a few days I'll share some thoughts. I've got the most powerful Stihl gas, and the Husky, which I've never been super happy with. So plenty to compare it to.

I did my first cat rescue today. Little dude was perched on the break out where the top came off last year. It was an Incense cedar that had been dead since the fire that burned the town down in '18, and it was only about 20" at the bottom and 60' tall or so. Not another tree within 100'. Kitty only hissed until treats were offered and then I had his cooperation. I think it helped that we were reaching the 96th hour since he'd been spotted up there. Little dude was 7 months old, so hopefully he learned a valuable lesson.
