During a fairly windy spring day, I decided to take the long way home after a short(er) day at work. As I was coming around a 90 degree bend in the road, there was a great crack, and a 6" wide, 15 foot tree limb landed right in the middle of the road, about 50 feet in front of me.
Needless to say, I turned around and went home the less tree-d way.
