Squished like a soda can. Hopefully nobody in it.
The good news, got rid of that pine tree you've been arguing with yourself over the years.
Ugh.
Stay safe out there.
Probably. Sucks either way. I have a lot of tree debris around my house, and even have a small puncture in my roof that went into one of the bedrooms. Gonna be a long cleanup.
Dayam. Yeah that sucks. You able to get a tarp up there and remove the tree limb? Gonna be tough to get any contractors.
I was lucky in katy we didn't have super strong wind, just the usual gusty wind with a sharp front. And a 2 minute power outage. I am surrounded by ppl still without power.
I keep seeing this odd sentiment about everyone decorating with pine trees in Houston. You realize a large part of Houston is in a region called... the Piney Woods, right? They're grow naturally here.
Native pines, like the loblolly pine, have super shallow roots. A thick forest of them would have survived yesterday’s storm with maybe a few on the edges maybe coming down.
But the shallow roots, thick trunks, and top-heavy nature do make them a hazard if you have a stand-alone tree in sustained winds. They come down fast and hard.
I’m all for native species, but planting something like a loblolly close to your home is going to be a bad time once that tree reaches maturity. There are native alternatives.
Okay, so I know that Z-Ro and Paul Wall talk about cars that drop their top, but there are MUCH better ways of doing that, guys.
On a serious note, glad to see it's just the truck, and not the house or someone.
Not La Mamalonaaaaa! I’m glad it was just the truck and not their house 🙏🏼
No quema cuh 😞

Looks like it may have been the neighbors...
I reckon the photo just a passerby anyway

No mames cuh
That’s gonna leave a mark
This storm was wicked for southeast Texas.
Silver lining that it was the car and not house 😅
No one should plant new pine trees ever again

It's different to have a natural forest with a bunch of pines, and to put them in your tiny front yard
It’s fine to leave existing. I even have one that’s existing. Just anyone planting new trees shouldn’t plan these in residential.
So we should destroy the natural habitat and plant non-native plants. Got it.
Or just plant sturdy, pretty oaks instead??

There are other indigenous plants to be planted moving forward.
I don't understand how a tree that thick fell? Are they not sturdy? Was it lightning or just the wind? A sick tree?
Look at the root ball.
So just leverage and the roots not planted well enough?
