It was a little windy today, but the real wind was a couple weeks back. The temperature dropped quite a bit over the past day, and tree probably picked up some stress cracks that the rapidly changing temperature accelerated.

The scary trees are on the west side. All of those are second growth eucalptus. The previous owner of the neighbor's home trimmed a row of mature trees back to about ten feet off the ground, and with their root systems intact, they shot up like crazy with very sappy growth.

We had a freeze back around 15 years ago that killed parts of the trees, so they are continually assaulting me. As you know, they're very brittle, very tall and very heavy.

Regards,

Matt
