“Is That A Monster?”
That’s what she said.

Climate change or nature?
I am going with nature.

I think I saw this in The Hobbit.

Who is the moron that took the video? Didn’t realize that any of those trees could topple over in an instant?
They all have root damage now. Will probably die next year.

I always wondered how a tree could fall over with its roots.
Now I know.

I’ve experienced something kind of like that.
I was elk hunting between Monarch and Neihart on the east side of HWY 89 above Belt Creek in a full on blizzard and came back to where the truck was parked and saw a big elk track in my track from about two hours earlier. Well, if I follow that track far enough… sooner or later one of the tracks is going to have an elk hoof still in it. So I went up the side of a mountain and when I got on top of the ridge the wind was blowing the trees so violently that the roots were lifting the ground seven or eight inches up and down. I don’t think the elk cared too much because he kept moving ahead of me on the ridge then went down into a valley and then back up on another ridge when I broke off the chase.
I headed west and came out to the highway just south of the ranger station. I’m damn lucky, because I had to ford the waist high creek to get to the highway where I was at and was damn near froze to to death by the time I got in front of the fireplace.

I’ve experienced it too. Santa Cruz mountains pig hunting. Heavy rain and wind. Shortly after that the entire stand of trees took off down the hill. While still standing. Weird.

Y’all act like you never seen a tree FART before!

And they said Kaiju (super monsters) only appeared in Japan.

You can see that down in the Okefenokee swamp. It is the swamp gas that is being belched out of the peat bogs. Don’t light any matches when that happens.

Saw it too, U.P. of Michigan at a deer camp. Wooded area on a ridge but on granite. Not a lot of roots go deep, just out. That happened about 3 or 4 years ago and they are still there growing.
Proves to just never give up the struggle.

I’ve never seen ground do that before, but the title for the post reminds me of what is now an old favorite -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7X3LYGV_N8.whatsthatcomingoverthehill?

That was me today because I foolishly ate at Sonic last night. I knew better but I did it anyway.
Side note: When I ordered the two cheeseburgers, I asked for heavy pickles. I like pickles. When I got home, I looked at the receipt for some reason. Those bastards charged me $1.30 for the extra pickles. What the hell is up with that? I’ve been to a county fair and two goat ropings, but that’s a first for me.

Lance Boyle lurks around here once in a while – he can help you.

I saw that while camping out at Donkey Creek in Washington during an Earthquake. Those are BIG trees to. Freaked me out.

Looks like an old-timey waterbed.
