Most of the trees aren't very big in my yard. We do have pine trees farther away. I've had the smaller trees get hit and run the roots and it was like an explosion under my house.I really hate storms here!
I have 5 very old oaks and one humongous pine on my lot. Any one of them could take out my whole house, but somehow when someone else is here it's not as scary. Probably I'm just a wimp lol.
