Bob Jameson OP trapper B Joined: Dec 2006 SW Pa	Had a bad storm come through. We received a warning on our phones which in most cases nothing happens. Well this time it was real. I went outside and looked around from my front porch just in time, I saw the funnel it was close. I ran into the house and got my wife out of her wheel chair and dragged her down into the basement. She was not sure what was happening. I heard the noise and waited for the house to get hit but it didnt. I heard lots of noise and rattling then it passed in a few minutes. It touched down about 40 yards from our front porch with about a 100 yard or so swath wide in our lower yard just across our driveway. I looked out the window and all I could see was trees lying everywhere. 100 ft cherry trees blown down with the root balls up in the air 15 -18 ft/ What a mess. Spent most of the day cleaning up branches, sticks, bark and other debris. Thankfully it missed our shop and house. Called a buddy that does tree removal he stopped in to give me an estimate. He said I was very lucky. Others nearby weren't so fortunante. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

I hate cutting big trees when the rootball is big and out the ground. Last edited by Boco; Yesterday at 09:27 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

My guess is even Mother Nature knew better that to mess with the contents of your lure shed. Just think if that twister would have hit the Stink Shack…… The coyote & fox density in PA would immediately reach plague proportions. They would have to change PA’s state slogan to: “Welcome To Dog Town”!
