YouTube need to lose the annotations so we can actually see the actual video and not a bunch of links to other bullshit

Oh man. This looked like it was a beautiful yard.

[csoblo]

This would break my heart. I love my trees

[ImportedPatriot]

Damn, atleast they came down away from the house. Hopefully it survived.

[abunchahooey]

Gosh, if YouTube could refrain from blocking the last few seconds of videos with what to click on next, we’d be able to see the whole thing! What a concept!

Landscape guy I used to work for said people who regularly water their yard or plant flowers etc. at the base of trees and water them are at greater risk for this happening. He said the trees don't send down as deep roots, they stay shallow since the water is regularly at the surface. Not sure if that's really true but it makes sense.

A home owner near me had a tree come down. I drove past a few days later and it was standing up and had bracing to hold it. It looked a little sickly for the first year after that, but now it looks very healthy and strong and you'd never guess it had once fallen over.

Damn, all of those tall beautiful trees!!

[deathbloom]

Aw that's so sad. Those trees are decades old and we're projecting a selling point in the house. But they and the house are safe so that's all that matters.

[JackieBaisa]

I hope that none (out of frame) fell on the house! That's so unnerving and sad. What a beautiful yard that was before this storm! Hoping the house and its occupants are okay.

[sueproffitt]

Been there as a MI home owner, house was damaged😮!The additional cost to remove the trees and the stumps will be enormous and costs not all covered by homeowners insurance. Prayerfull that there was no damage to any persons. 🙏🏾

Trees: we bend, so we don’t break.
Wind: challenge accepted.

[therealjayseh]

A vehicle hitting those trees at 80 miles an hour won't even knock them down. Just imagine how strong that wind must be

[DaleDenton-ovpg]

Thats terrible, I'm truly sorry for your loss

[sarahr]

Is this a high precip area of Michigan? So sorry for this home owner. If trees don’t have to root down and search for water, they’ll grow great, but be susceptible to a high wind event as they mature. Man, it is so hard to have this happen.

Look at the gorgeous home in the background. This is a beautiful neighborhood. The trees can be transplanted again and will continue to thrive. Always keep the Faith and keep hope alive. Everything is going to be alright.

God bless every one and every animal who went through this, and continues too. This is devastating… but MICHIGANDERS ARE STRONG! 🙏🏻
