Morning everyone,
I'm sure some of you heard that Omaha, NE got hit again with another sever storm on Friday evening. 70-90 mph straight line winds. They sounded the tornado sirens, so my wife, son and I went downstairs and rode the storm out. The wind really blew and blew. After the wind quit and the radar showed we were mostly on the back edge of it, we went upstairs. I opened the front door and looked out to see our Linden tree was blown over. Broke right at the ground, snapped, no roots came up, just snapped. Yesterday my BIL and a friend helped clean it up. I took one load of branches to a drop off sight - took an hour and half to get that done.
Anyway, I'm wondering if I should call my insurance company about this. I would think that my property value has decreased by loosing this tree that was around 18" to 20" on the trunk.
Michael
PS: I'll post pictures of it later.
