December Storms

It looks like I survived last night here in AZ – the 50′ tall mega tree is still standing, the roof stars are still standing (they go up to 22 feet over the top of the roof.)
The mini trees and the stick tree’s were all knocked over – but – that happens all of the time, so thats not such a big deal. Some things will need to be straightened out a bit, but, nothing out of the ordinary.
I removed three pieces of a neighbors patio roof from the yard this morning – I am hoping that none of the metal cut any wires, but, I will find out tonight. I know one hit a candy cane and broke the plastic.
A local mall (Anthem) lost their 80′ tall christmas tree – snapped in half. Of course I think that leaves my mega tree as now the largest tree in Arizona. We saw winds with constant of 55 mph, and gusts up to 75 mph, and about an two inches of rain. I lost the 50′ mega tree two years ago and I was determined to make sure that this one could handle 100mph + winds.
