The past two days we had a bigger storm with sometimes orcan-strength going through Austria which caused many damage. We had the bad luck that two of our beautiful large (min 20 meters and going up, some are really large) old trees didn't manage the storm. One completely broke leaning now against a younger one which slowly gets disrooted because of the weight. It neds to get removed quickly now...really a pity, it was a beautiful one with ivy going up the whole trunk.
The second tree was a large spruce which broke in the half and fell onto our roof!
I have no idea how big the damage is, you actually don't see that much because of the many twigs and needles, but since it's an old house with very thick walls and everything there might not happened that much...it's just sad for the tree, we had two large spruces standing behind the house, both looking like twins with uff maybe 20-25 meters height (?) and now one is halfed down.
Well, we have so many large old nice trees in our garden (we have a pretty large ground :)) It's always a shivering at storms if they might survive and NOT fall onto our house^^ We already lost many through bark beetles and now they're geting older and older...oh well
I need to go then to Uni, I have a zoologics-test today...
btw: Countdown t-4 days =D
