So this blog is in a grey area between off the cuff commentary, and actual journalism. Which is to say while I feel what I have to say is important I don't have any real numbers to back me up so take what I say with a grain of salt and keep in mind that I also use this space as a quasi public record of my own thoughts.
So walking down the street the other day I realized a tree, I don't mean a branch, I mean an entire 50-70 foot tree had fallen on one of my neighbor's house. Trucks were out clearing it so I assumed everybody was okay but it got me thinking.
This is the second or third tree that's caused serious damage near me I've seen in the past few years and it's making me start wondering if this is a thing. One crashed into live electrical wires in 2013, and maybe 8 months ago one did a number on my next door neighbor's house and I'm pretty sure totaled her grand daughter's car.
Eventually I want to look into it but I don't have the cash right now to pay any FOIA fees for the fire department to get actual numbers on tree runs. Thus this.
