RE: I just had to walk to the river today. The dogs may never trust me again.

We deal with hurricanes, it sounds as if a derecho is just as bad.
The worst are the headless pine trees.
Just cut the poor thing down...
I am laughing.

Sort:  

I need to photograph some of these decapitated pine trees.
WHY do people leave them standing....because, how much work it is to cut down and cart away the carcass of a mature tree.
Soooo many trees that withstood the derecho are amputees. Huge branches are broken off, yet the tree lives on.
I had gotten so accustomed to our battered, broken landscape. Most of it has been cleared. But that morning by the river, where so many colossal trees had fallen, blocking all access, was an eye-opener.
Here's hoping 2023 is a better year for you, @myjob! And for everyone. :)

I would have thought a logging company could use the tree, instead of cutting the healthy trees down. Or people who heat with wood, there must be a use for them since they are already down.

Good point: why don't logging companies come along and cart away the colossal fallen trees?
A very large area lost more than half its mature trees, so there were logs aplenty.
we used to see mountains and mountains of wood chips downtown.
