A tree fell on my house

I have a feeling this is not gonna go well big storm coming and it's gonna be here pretty quick it's dark it's ominous you know how sometimes you just get a feeling about things I got a bad feeling about this storm I hate storms so much this one looks terrible I'm gonna go get some water ready for losing power and just kind of batten down the hatches I'm out of here [Music] hey guys Brooke Whipple here welcome to my channel today I am in Michigan at our house here and last night wasn't good we had a massive storm blow through here felt more like a tornado it felt like it too when this big tree crashed down on my house check it out this is one of the bigger one of the biggest beech trees at our property here I'm gonna walk into the woods show you how big this thing is and the damage it has done to the house it was a long night the size of this thing it's probably 20 feet in the air right now it's gonna pee it's gonna be ugly I can't even see the house because all the branches there but this is one massive tree it's just hanging by a thread I'll give you a size reference here now that I'm next to it it's massive well the damage to the house so far what I can tell right now this tree is wedged into the side of the house and it broke off on top and the top half of the trees laying on the peak which broke through a section of roof about this wide so last night your fork has to get even more storms after this when I crawled into the attic and put - totes there so I could at least save you know the ceiling and other things in the room where it it came down dave is in Alaska still so a lot of his family are coming over today to help with this and see what we can do yeah you know living in the forest is really great you know living in the forest and near the forest is really great until you have these massive trees looming over her house it was so scary I mean looking out the window it looked like a tornado and then to here this tree crack and we've had I've been home here I've been here when other really big trees have fallen and it I heard it and I felt it before I knew where it was going to hit and it's terrifying few seconds there luckily everyone's okay and now we just have a hole in the roof and a lot of damage to take care of I'm gonna take a quick walk around the property in the woods and see what else came down in this storm and wait for reinforcements dave is really really anxious he's he doesn't like not being here right now to help deal with this and yeah it's it's definitely not cool we've been worried about this particular tree for a long time and we have these beech trees here that are probably over a hundred years old in this particular one we knew could reach the house it's been on our mind Dave said he was gonna take it out this fall too late nature took it out oh here's one that came down looks like a oh the big old maple came down here wow that still hung up man big old section of that tree down and it took out a bunch more on the next path there's another tree yep that's just a big limb that came down there right there it's big enough man it's like a freakin war zone in here hate storms hates tarp so much it's in a couple bad storms as a kid and no thank you our limbs look at that big beach gone it's hung up there too so many trees this one just fell apart for size reference look at this tree behind me it's massive Oh more over here my damage on this maple lost a few big branches oh oh it's just sucks oh I see more over here another beech tree gone a big limb off a maple hey let's check out my shelter this thing is withstood the test of time man shelter is no problem look at that huh so much destruction that the shelter is good let's back up towards the house again there's a couple leaners it weren't like that before so there's the here's where it came down broke off right there that part is smashed through the peak and the rest of it is wedged here on the side of the house and that trunk then goes way back and it's resting didn't didn't hit the woodshed and that trunk here is then hung up on the stump about six feet up Chrisman's are coming a lot of Dave's family is coming to help so thankful nobody got hurt it was really a scary moment storms and big trees [Music] [Music] on our own I couldn't write so now the idea is it's kind of over top and it'll pull it more from the top Oh No yeah don't want much more all right here's the update guys I just went told my neighbors no one seems to be home I guess no power makes everybody go somewhere else track down a gas pull saw we need a little bit of cut out of that stump to get it to move so we're gonna work on that in the meantime they've got another plan back by the tree they're working on so hopefully one of these works so the idea was to I Jack this up with the pole and Advent the pole right pipe yeah well it's a good idea chained up because we're pulling down so much so just trying all the tricks you want to talk to ya I've got I've got that big white one you want to talk to Ryan a minute watch that a bit that's gonna pop on you gauge you're gonna get it if that log lets you know what I mean it's kind of scary no just looking I see simply I don't this you whoa your trees breaking stay back back up gage a little and me making me worry yeah Oh watch out [Laughter] oh boy okay let's see well there's a hole in the wall oh that's beautiful isn't it yeah yeah Wow we gotta get that off to you nice job good job gage and it's on the ground yay yeah look at the size of this thing man uh yeah the last tree that
