Things that go Crash in the Night

Last we had a cold front go through which produce winds of 30 to 40 kts. While not at the boat but all snug in our bed at home. I was listening the wind howl and the trees whoshing out in back of our home. We back up to our wood lot here in the country. Well just as a big gust came so did the craaaaaaack and then the big ole thuuuuuud. I thought oh shit one of the big trees out back went down. Sure enough, our biggest right out back went down.

Kind of reminded me when I was lot younger and camping in a tent up in northern Michigan. I had the same thing happen as a tree fell very close to us in the night and we knew it was close, but not until we woke up did we realize that it was right next to our tent. So the grandson came over tonight and he had to go see it as grandma had told him. So looks like we got our firewood for the season and then some all in one tree.
