Wow

I think maybe our luck is changing. This tree borders our property line. It belongs to us and our neighbor. We've all been trying to have it cut down for years. It's alive, but hollow and dying. We didn't pursue it aggressively enough. Today it cracked and a significant portion of the tree fell to the ground. Right where a car is normally parked and nearby children are playing on the sidewalk.

No children or cars were injured. Wow. It could've been so much worse. The tree has to be cut down very soon. The arbor man is coming tomorrow and we'll set something up then. For now I'm just very thankful.
