Whether or not the tree will cause major damage depends on how big and heavy it is (duh). If it's a moderate sized softwood true, it will probably only mess up the roof a bit. If it's like an oak tree, your screwed!

What picture?

We have pretty much any kind of tree, but probably like 90 percent is pine trees. Yah, were screwed.

Actually unlike where E-mortal is our trees are extremely sturdy trees, and even survived Katrina where there was trees there, so basically the branchs are things to worry about, but who knows maybe there will be a few downed trees.

WOOT, still have power! ^_^

Rita was the worst hurricane ever. Not in terms of damage, but in terms of crappy hurricanes. We didnt even lose power for 12 hours. :nonono: It was a disgrace.

Well pine trees are really sturdy, but their really tall, so they fall easily. One fell on our neighboo's roof.

Some trees are hollow or dieng, but the strong ones will last.

You got to remember syko we were on teh weak side of the storm, and 100 miles from the center, it missed us basically.

It missed there too, however an entire building was destroyed, and three buildings were burned to the ground, and there was some minor flooding and a couple of buildings where modertly damaged. We missed a bullet here, and it would have been worse if it remained on its projected path, we wouldn't be posting right now.

Or would we? :shifty: Yah, probably not.

But still, how can it miss Galveston? Some crazy fisherman with a cargo of beer must have sailed right into it, cause I swear Rita was drunk when she made land fall!

I lost power for a while, and the other half of the tree in my front yard that didn't already crack off did. If I remeber correctly, I had a major tornado warning, and a storm's east side is way more powerful than the west side that you guys got.

E-mortal got it worst then us apparantly.

I didn't lose power, but some nasty branches fell on my house, and there are THOUSANDS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSADNS OF PINE NEEDLES EVERYWHERE!

It just was to weak to keep its track, so the high overpowered it and she made land fall more east.

Sad, isnt it? I atleast had nothing to do for half the day. And losing power in Texas is not fun.

Louisana isn't exactly paradise without power syko.

Did you lost power? I DIDN'T!! *Brags.* Almost did though. We do have the biggest pile branches on the street, our neighbors had a dead tree in their yard, about 60% of its branches fell to the ground, most of which into our yard, so that took awhile to clean up. Thats about it.

Remember those nice trees we use to stand under while waiting for your mom syko at McCullough? Behind the Creekwood Park sign. Gone. :T.T:
