Near Miss From Large Poplar Tree Blowdown

We had a large Poplar tree come down during a storm near our little house and workshop. We were all unscathed, but the woodshed will need a new roof. We have lots of cleanup to do and we're feeling pretty lucky.

Luckily it was the top of the tree that landed on the woodshed and not the trunk.

Another 15 degrees towards the north would have been a really bad day.

The poplar tree was just south of the workshop (on right of pict). The upturned root ball is taller than me.
