Click For Summary
Integral suggested posting a picture of an old growth tree on the property in Oregon, estimated to be between 150 and 250 years old, with most estimates around 175 years. The tree is notable for its large lower limbs, which are considered "widow makers" due to their danger during windstorms. Integral also examined a dead deer nearby, adding a layer of interest to the discussion. The tree's health is confirmed, and it poses a potential risk to nearby structures, prompting past tree removals for safety. Overall, the conversation highlights the beauty and risks associated with old growth trees in the area.

I guessed a late morning shot. West and south would put the tree falling toward the northwest with highest probability. Keep that in mind.

Really, it could fall any direction but due south. That 110 feet is the distance, going south, to the front door of my office.

I am pretty sure that we had a micro burst pass over here a few weeks ago. It was raining so hard that it was knocking the limbs off the trees. According to the weather satellite it was coming down at a rate of about 4 inches an hour. Then we got high winds and I was trapped in my office for hours. It was like a bleeping war zone out there. When we moved here I had no sense of the danger posed by large trees, but now... You gain a healthy respect after about, oh, one good storm.
