Not my tree and the tree is in bad shape, probably not much worth saving?

Probably for the best as I don't have a place to store it in the new house :) I'm trying to build up my local walnut lumber for furniture projects.

Last week when I saw temps in the 70's, I'm like what a great day for a bike ride!! Then when I saw the winds going from like 20 to now 70.......

Just ride north/northeast. Could be the best ride of your life.

I keep seeing people say this like the dismissal is ridiculous. But the predicted winds are no joke for busses and kids who walk home.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I read that more as a commentary on how bizarre this is, not whether it was the right thing to do. Though it's already supposed to be plenty windy by the time schools are letting out, isn't it?

We close both our current house and the new one on the 28th. Definitely needed this additional stress, thank you

Explain what “moderate risk” means to me. Pretend I’m 8 years old.


  • 4-MDT (red) - Moderate risk - An area where widespread severe weather with several tornadoes and/or numerous severe thunderstorms is likely, some of which should be intense. This risk is usually reserved for days with several supercells producing intense tornadoes and/or very large hail, or an intense squall line with widespread damaging winds.

That wasn't my point at all.
