Basement Playroom Pictures
Can 50 mph winds blow trees down?
I live in the most southeastern town of Connecticut right on the RI border and Earl is heading up this way. It won’t be a direct hit but we have a tropical storm warning through tomorrow night. They say we will get wind gust of 50+ mph.
We have a lot of trees around our house a couple are pretty close to the house and two are right near my children’s bedrooms. My husband thinks I am over reacting but I was thinking of having the kids sleep downstairs in the basement playroom for tomorrow night. I just keep picturing a tree falling over onto the house right into their bedroom.
Is this being paranoid or is it a good idea?
How do you know if a tree is dead? I know the trees are old but my husband said they are stronger then because the roots are in deep and far out but I worry it could snap in the middle
If the trees are dead or hallow absolutely 50+ winds can blow them down. I can 100% attest that they can as winds blew down not only our large tree down a couple years ago, but winds also blew down my neighbors tree.
If your trees are dead or hallow I would have the kids sleep down stairs. Better safe than sorry.
The biggest clue to dead trees is lack of leaves, but other than that I would have to ask my dad. I do know a tree can be dying and still grow leaves.
Thumbs down? seriously. My dad’s co-worker’s Walnut tree (very big) was blown down 2 weeks ago.
