It was a Tornado. Hit the edge of my nursery about 1:30 this morning, while i was dreaming of beautiful naked women giving me boxes of Anejos...

Here's my well and injection system

here's the remnants of a giant Red Oak, was probably 120' x 150' (it's the tree on my well)

this was a canopy rd. that ran beside the nursery

and 4-500 yds away, my tractors are safe and sound

We were very lucky, only a few broken pipes at the well, no damage to the nursery, very very fortunate considering what could have happened. Lots of free firewood though, just come cut it :laugh:
 
Thats why sometimes I'm happy I live in Europe without those tornados or earthquakes.
 
What are those narly trees? I'd hate to split that sh@t by hand.

Doc.

pin oak, I think, Doc. Nope, you'd use a log splitter.

Close, Southern Red Oak, too hot down here for Pin Oaks

and that tree we'll push up w/ a dozer and burn, great big marshmellow roast

Oh, and we have plenty of water oaks down on the other part of the farm, come on down and start splitting
 
I love that moss growing in your tree.
My Pop has that stuff growning around were he lives in north carlina
I brought it up here to nothern virginia and its lived though the winter
It has little flowers you know
 
I was smack dab in the middle of a tornado several years back...Worst 30 seconds of my life. Glad you made it out OK.
