I live in far western North Carolina. The remnants of Ida brought us about 6 inches of rain over 30 hours. At midnight, the biggest tree on my five acres came down on my house. No outside lights here on the mountain, but using a flashlight, it looks pretty bad. Just contacted the insurance company. Daylight will reveal all.

Been trying for over a month to get the local tree guy to take down that one tree. I love it up here, but the fucking hillbillies are pretty damn useless for getting anything done.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get a nice settlement. What kind of tree was it?

60 year old pine tree. It's huge. Not even near the house, but when it came down, the top quarter of it covers the end of the house front to back. Chimney wrecked too. Ugh.

Wow, that's scary. I have about 4 of them like that on my property but mine are within distance of my house if they fall because they are so tall. I've walked around them and the roots look solid. Was there any warning that it could come down?

It started leaning 2 months ago. We called our tree guy, but of course he was too busy elsewhere. When I heard the terrible sound at midnight, I knew what it must be and ducked under a desk. It fell when it did after 30 hours of steady heavy rains from Ida.
