What a beautiful sight to see a fallen giant, now a home for new life. It just says it all about the cycles of nature. However, when a tree falls in your yard it\'s a whole different story. Several years ago we experienced a weather event called a \"derecho\" which destroyed many hundreds of trees in our county and knocked out power for over a week. The event spanned several states and caused massive damage. My niece had a tree crash through her roof. The first picture I posted is the tree that took out power in our neighborhood. Oddly, the weather was nice but we got a warning that the wind would hit us in 15 minutes and in exactly 15 minutes it arrived so we were all watching as it happened. The trees did make a sound when they fell but not really as loud as you would suppose.
