|  Wind damage
Last night we had wicked rain and high winds here. Rain guage said 2'' winds were clocked around 30-40 not to bad but it was real gusty. Damage wasn't to bad got some pics of a few of the calls I got this morning. One was an insurance job and the other I had to bid.        Last edited by Jeff Darby; 4th December 2009 at 04:20 PM. |

| Re: Wind damage
Yes it is hung up in 3 other trees We have access to both sides of the tree the oak is in a fence row on a property line. No targets to worry about  There is 4 maybe 5 oak trees of the same size behind the tree that we can use. Blocks and ropes, in the trees behind it. Porty's and the Hobbs. I bought the Hobbs in the spring and can't believe the power that thing has.

So this one is a red oak, looked like it had a cavity with open front. Be a good one to measure what the t/r ratio was for a failure, also length vs DBH (taper ratio).
