tons of branches and trees down
like a tropical storm hit the place.
parents were walking outside and almost got hit by a tree they said

>>2154Hmm, I think the "V" is one of the weakest tree shapes when it comes to wind or ice, if not the absolutely weakest. When you compare it to the trees like that evergreen on the left it's quite a major divergence
No.2157
>>2156I think softwoods like pines probably stand up to stresses like wind a bit better. If you've ever seen them in a storm they can sway a pretty significant amount. Way more than a hardwood. Which sort of makes sense because when you think about snow loading, it can be pretty uneven depending on wind direction.

I went without power for about 10 days during a winter storm about 12 years ago. It was really rough. The lack of entertainment was one thing, but the main thing was hard it is to sleep without noise from a fan. I ended up getting a simple radio and headphones and put the frequency nowhere near a station so it was just a bunch of static

>>2680Cable and electrical lines are handled by different services and the two don't want to touch one another's stuff..
So what you see is an amazing piece of bureaucracy called stapling your broken cable pole to the side of an electrical pole. You see it quite a bit here because it wasn't worth it to reinstall the components and you can save time.

Grand canyon? I flew over that once, but that can't really compare. It's really quite amazing what erosion can do, huh.

Yeah, dry heat is much more bearable and even nice to sit in. I'd even say the middle of the day in the desert is 100x better than a very hot day in the coast where everything is humid as hell.
