We had a HUGE windstorm last night, lots of people without power, downed lines even just down the road from me(yet i still have power)...and our pool almost got killed by one of our biggest trees...

It fell and crushed part of the deck railing, and the winder for the cover...the combination of those 2 saved the pool for sure...

Oh well, thats what home owners insurance is for...

Damn Matt. I wish I lived closer.

Lowe's has a nice chainsaw on sale and if I was close I would be all over that like a chain saw massacre.

Wow, what a mess. Glad that you are okay. We just had a LOT of wind here (I was driving for my job in it and it wasn't fun).

You aint the only one that got slammed by that wind storm. We had a gust here that was about 80 mph and it took a friends trampoline and carried it off, and they haven't seen it since. Could you imagine seeing a giant trampoline flyin in the air.. I sure as hell can't

Im just glad that Im one of the fortunate ones that still have power here. Everyone else around the city doesnt.

Damn dude, I can only imagine the wind and noise those trees made going down. Glad you're okay
