Signs and warning from God . If a human being did what this storms are doing . War will be waged but . God is taking revenge for God says vengeance is mine. I will avenge.

All these weather miracles will continue because of our past sins and the continued oppression of the sons and daughters of African descendants.sign. See the trajectory of these storms it follows the slave trade shipping line and holding places .

But do you know why all this storms blow themselves all the way from Sahara Africa and west coast of Africa to cause damage and evoke 🤔🤔🤔God communicating to us that we must repent and acknowledge over the 20 million souls that perished in the Atlantic oceans in slave trade.

You can thank the power company’s draconian pruning for that

😲

Close call! Glad everyone is safe! That grass though! It pulled up like a rug ... didn’t even break apart. The tree might’ve had a poor root system but that grass was gagging on for dear life!

Whoever trimmed the trees took all the trunks - boughs off the side of the road, so the tree was always top heavy that way

I love nature.

Nice teamwork in getting it cleaned up. Well done.

You know that they kept the tree away from the wires by cutting one side. many electric companies do this and this is what can happen.

beckystanton92 this is what I worry about with the 2 trees closet to our house 👀

Felled or fell tho? 🤣🤣

Wow

WOW!

The power of wind

Trump's fault

that is the problem with unnatural tree growth. over trimmed on one side and no deep root because of reticulation, and less distancing of roots because of concrete paving etc.

That root system didn't go very deep

2016 year greece,i bin there

Did anybody else think, 'I'd like to stand on the tree as it fell?' Okay, just me? Okay...😆

That’s because of the way it was trimmed for the power lines.

WOW!!!

This tree must be weak for its age...

Does this tree have any roots? Doesn't seem to have.
