DavidLMO said:Well - while living in Massachusetts of all places - I lived thru a hurricane in '85 (forget which one - but it was a big one). It hopped over Long Island and came right up our coast. At one of its highest points, I was standing with my step son at a door and looking at 100 foot Pine trees bending over at about 45 degrees. Snap - pop. We watched one nearly 2 feet in diameter get snapped like a toothpick. Of course for us there, NorEasterns in Winter were far worse. That's another story...if interested and you are unfamiliar confer The Perfect Storm book or movie.


Pine trees are notorious for twisting & snapping. No way I want a big pine near enough to my house to fall on it! Yikes!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
