[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1252249, member: 7123"] Holy crap, I know. A branch about 1" with twigs from my maple tree fell right near me, almost on my head Sunday while assembling new patio furniture on the back patio - coulda been a goner had it been 4" diameter or bigger and hit me square - you'd think it would make a creaking sound a bit more to warn me to look up, but I guess the wind sound covered up the creaking. Evidently, this long long dog-day period of high pressure systems with little wind allows the weaker branches to stay attached longer than they would normally be culled out, and so a bunch of them "build up" for a good wind event like that. In a T-storm while hunting, I'm a lot more scared of falling branches than I am of snakes, mountain lions, feral dogs, etc. [/QUOTE]
