It will be split three ways, with you being one of them.

Might be the understatement. It would be a terrible time to have holes in a home.
2 gutters and one facia board, not bad at all.

My neighbor's huge tree fell due south onto front lawns; fortunately missing homes and cars. It did however, block a driveway, and took out a smaller pine tree.
That fallen tree could easily have wiped out a house.

All wood will be down in the valley.
At least that is what we were told!

I know guys that go down there (by the animal shelter) to see what the city has dumped. They use large tree trunks for for turning (bowls and so on on lathes). One guy I know makes amazing hats on his lathe out of maple.

Edward FitzGerald, Mayor of Lakewood, stops by to check on everyone in our house. He was happy top see we were OK and would not need to be staying at his house. In the car was Dennis Albrecht City Engineer. His crews, I mean our fire, police service crews, worked their asses off last night.
Thank you.

These are not carved. That would be easy.
These are turned on a huge lathe starting out with a chunk of tree trunk slightly smaller than your Mini....
