S.E. VA just went through a lightweight nor'easter the past couple days - lots
of rain/road flooding but not much damage. But last week, the remnants of Ike
brought down a 60' tall 14" in diameter poplar tree in our paddock.
It should have taken out the tin roof barn, but somehow did a pirouette, and
fell across the forward edge of the roof of a pony trailer where it curves
downward in an egg-shell shape. Must be something to that, because the tree
broke across it but left the trailer intact without anything more than just a
big spot of marred-up paint and a fist sized dent that popped right out with a
soft hammer.
