UA-cam need to lose the annotations so we can actually see the actual video and not a bunch of links to other bullshit
Been thinking that for a Looong time!
1 million percent. I hate it.

Sounds like a you problem 😂

This would break my heart. I love my trees
Me too❣️ This broke my heart to watch.
I'd have to move, i wouldnt be able to take it!
Same
I love trees too 😭
Why they clutter your gutters
Oh man. This looked like it was a beautiful yard.
Sandy soil up there. Unfortunately.
@@STEEPPOWyep unfortunately!!!
Key word: was.
Not anymore
Gosh, if UA-cam could refrain from blocking the last few seconds of videos with what to click on next, we’d be able to see the whole thing! What a concept!
Seriously-How greedy is that
I totally agree. Sometimes the most important part of a story is in the last few seconds.
That's not all You Tube. Whom ever uploaded the video has the option to add those additional links at the end of the video.
@@Mr.Martini549 I see why channel creators add the links… but can’t a big ol’ company like UA-cam see that the ends of videos are compromised and do something to fix it? It would help the creators who bring them so much money, and it would help the viewers who also bring them so much money. UA-cam screws around with creators so much, and the relentless ads screws around with the viewers, apparently UA-cam doesn’t really give a rat’s behind about anything but $$$$$$.
@@abunchahooey Probably a better question for the channel creator. I've uploaded video on my channel and quite frankly, I couldn't figure out how to even do it correctly on my own! LOL!!
A home owner near me had a tree come down. I drove past a few days later and it was standing up and had bracing to hold it. It looked a little sickly for the first year after that, but now it looks very healthy and strong and you'd never guess it had once fallen over.
I’ve always wondered if large trees can be stood back up and braced so it’s great to hear that sometimes they can.
Thats cool
Hey that's neat. The possibility never occurred to me.
Thanks for commenting cause I was just thinking to have them put back. The tree will be stressed of-course so made sense it took a year similar to my neighbors tree that I thought was done for after an ice storm but after a year it’s healthy looking
@@whist214 fixed it
Landscape guy I used to work for said people who regularly water their yard or plant flowers etc. at the base of trees and water them are at greater risk for this happening. He said the trees don't send down as deep roots, they stay shallow since the water is regularly at the surface. Not sure if that's really true but it makes sense.
Tap root watering is pretty common in where I live because it saves money and allows the various vegetation to have deep healthy roots
That is 100% correct. I am a farmer. The roots go where the water is. If trees aren’t watered deep there aren’t strong, deep roots for support.
It's true.
There is some truth to it. In California a few years ago, a whole landscape company created a landslide that fell on homes below and it killed a few people below it. They had been told to stop the heavy watering. It was very sad.
Trees looked pretty aged to me. Not really a type to bend with the wind.
Damn, all of those tall beautiful trees!!
They clog your gutters
Damn, atleast they came down away from the house. Hopefully it survived.
I hope that none (out of frame) fell on the house! That's so unnerving and sad. What a beautiful yard that was before this storm! Hoping the house and its occupants are okay.
As someone in michigan who took a 100ft red oak to my house 2 years ago when we had a Nader in Jackson County...I hope not either. One of the most devastating things I've ever had happen. Wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy
I saw this on twitter, I believe the owner said no trees hit the house
Aw that's so sad. Those trees are decades old and we're projecting a selling point in the house. But they and the house are safe so that's all that matters.
Xi and company, are happy. Trees make oxygen and are coming down at horrible rates, of speed. You don’t see this in the winter, when our area had high winds that took down tens of thousands, and still going since clacker became the resident in 2021.
Those trees were trimmed to an inch of their life, it's a wonder they lasted just the "decades" you claim they are
Seek "whirlwind" in your concordance.
They are cutting all the trees down here in N Central Texas to build homes and apartments and trailer parks. Leaders here really want it to be overcrowded and like the States they talk bad about all the time. They just act like they are against it. It's all about the Dollar bill in their pockets. I guess that's better than a little shade in 120 degree heat. People moving into these homes without a single tree for shade are going to be miserable in the summer. Just like electric cars. They talk against it but the biggest ev plant is right here in Texas besides the one Ellen musk built in Mexico.
@@blazebi47 Trees take a long time to grow, I doubt they were planted as fully grown trees.
That’s depressing omg
Tornadoes suck bro, this situation blowed
So sorry for your loss and the trees loss of their grounding. I love trees…am a treehugger.
same i love trees too :(
U want a cookie
Sorry for your lost.I hope your house is ok an your family.

"We have weak trees." -- Tom Hanks in *The Money Pit.*
😂i forgot about that movie, I'm going to find it and watch later today. Thank you!
Lol!...Tom Hanks was in "The Money Pit" mid 80s with Shelly Long... good movie.
"The Money Trap" was a movie in the 60s, but I knew what you meant. 😉
@@thebrain7065 DOH! Thanks. I'll fix it now.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember that, it was hilarious the stuff they went through fixing up the place 😆🤧
Shallow roots, moist ground
Been there as a MI home owner,house was damaged😮!The additional cost to remove the trees and the stumps will be enormous and costs not all covered by homeowners insurance. Prayerfull that there was no damage to any persons. 🙏🏾
Insurance pays minimally. Varies but may be as little as $500-$1000 (total) which won't buy much tree removal.
Tree guys are happy af.
God bless every one and every animal who went through this, and continues too. This is devastating… but MICHIGANDERS ARE STRONG! 🙏🏻
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
A vehicle hitting those trees at 80 miles an hour won't even knock them down. Just imagine how strong that wind must be
That's because a vehicle would hit the base of the tree. Once the wind is leaning the top of the tree enough, the weight of the tree helps uproot it.
@@Hayyyward whoosh. Missing the whole point while trying to act like a teacher lol
@@therealjaysehmaybe you should have paid more attention to your teacher(s). They were trying to explain to you how a car hitting the tree isn’t a good comparison because different forces are at work. It is like trying to lift a heavy boulder off of someone by hand vs using a lever, you don’t have to use as much energy if you use a lever. The force of the wind isn’t as much as the force of the car would be, but since it has a mechanical advantage, it doesn’t need to be. Here is an easy experiment for you, take too spoons and put them on a table with the handles hanging off of the edge. Place the spoons with the handle hanging over the edge with only the hard on the table. Pinch one of the handles with your thumb and index finger and bend it down. Now pinch the other handle right by the head and bend it down. Which one took more force?
Now that is how you “act like a teacher”!
@@therealjayseh Guess, physics wasn't your thing.
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
Amazing the clay pots on the walkway stayed upright!
Is this a high precip area of Michigan? So sorry for this home owner. If trees don’t have to root down and search for water, they’ll grow great, but be susceptible to a high wind event as they mature. Man, it is so hard to have this happen.
You're right those trees cannot handle the wind up there
It didn’t look like extreme wind and those babies all toppled in a stiff breeze
@@trentbateman It was a confirmed EF2 tornado.
@@pearlllg yea I guess I can’t appreciate how fast the winds actually are in the video
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
Trees: we bend, so we don’t break.
Wind: challenge accepted.
Everything has limits.
That's probably a case of interconnected root systems in the trees. Once one tree was uprooted, then it weakened the root systems in all the other surrounding trees. Still it didn't look like this house was badly damaged. I'll take suffering bad tree damage any day of the week over damage to my house!
its a nice hypothesis giving your lack of education. however you are wrong.
ThI power of Mother Nature!! Wow 😮
Yet the flag hanging from the house is intact. Amazing footage.
Trees are connected like families
I lived through this, shit was crazy.
Everyone lived through it, you aren't special.
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
No more leaves to rake.👍⭐️
no more shade in the summer....free air conditioning.
Look at the gorgeous home in the background. This is a beautiful neighborhood. The trees can be transplanted again and will continue to thrive. Always keep the Faith and keep hope alive. Everything is going to be alright.
a tornado is coming to my area at the moment pray for me and my family please
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
ugh that is really sad
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
Wow - awesome video - what a bummer to lose all those trees 😳
That’s odd. The ground must be pretty soft
WOW Great Coverage
😭I'm so sorry. I hope everyone is ok.
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
I saw at least 2 still standing at the end
What a drag, the yard was so pretty
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
AND THE FLOWERS ARE STILL STANDING!
They are soo small there is no surface the wind can grab :)
And the flag. How did that thing not blow away
Omgosh wow 😯. So sad and scary. Praying for everyone 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
That ground must have been super-saturated. They fell a little too easily to my eye.
Agree
Your eye should have been there - it was a tornado and it was scary!
Lots of firewood for this upcoming winter
It’s very upsetting to see all those gorgeous trees gone in a second! I feel for the people who live there, they will be reminded of this day constantly by their absence 😢
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
Trees come out of ground but the flag pole doesnt come off the house? interesting.
Aww...those beautiful trees. Heartbreaking
This sucks, tornadoes blow
Those roots weren’t deep, and it must’ve been soggy soil to topple so easily… considering the tornado wasn’t even in sight.
Same thing happened to me back in 1989. I got this great property full of mature trees...and then the hurricane Hugo came and broke every one of them.
Hope people are safe 🙏
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
Old Glory still there. 🇺🇲 💪
That is depressing but could have much been worse so I consider them fortunate that the house is ok and pets and people hopefully are ok
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
WOW!!that was incredible and scary
This is soooo awfully sad to lose all those trees....
Shallow rooted trees never survive. We had a whole avenue of trees that toppled like dominoes in a row, in a once in a lifetime storm some years ago. We found out that they had been there for over 150 years. It changed the whole outlook and we did replant but it was not the same.
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
I love how the trees fell down but not the pots 😂😂😂😂
Tornados are baffling. Huge trees come down, but did you notice the flag is still in place on the side of the house at the end of the video?
@merryhunt9153
That's an astute observation; I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.
That said, it looks like it's blowing the *opposite* direction of the wind hitting the trees.
Or am I wrong?
And the flower pots never twitched
Wow. Must of been really sandy soil.
those were straight line winds not a tornado. No consolation to the homeowner who lost those trees I know
We had a tornado pass by our church one Wednesday evening. We were all at prayer service. We we came out of the church basement after the storm passed, the sky was so clear and the wall of storms was to the east (the backside) The sun came out like it does on a summer evening. Everything was dripping rain. Everyone was in shock ,it was so quiet! We looked across the street and there was a house with it's roof gone but inside the attic there were Rubbermaid boxes of stuff - just stacked there - not even disturbed ! I'll never forget that. It's something how somethings are destroyed and something s just sit there unharmed. Thank God these peoples home was spared from those falling trees. !
Just a "Friendly Reminder"!
Wow at least they fell away from the house!😮
That sucks, all those nice trees gone
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
Nw wisconsin here and 2 years ago we had straight line winds that ripped up more trees around us then it left (including a massive oak that was well over 100 years old). The landscape still has not fully healed from the damage and some days it’s just depressing to look at, but the positive was most (there was one death a county over) walked away safely. Everything else (trees and homes) can be replaced
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
🙏- pray for those people
I don't think this is the tornado! I know that parts of Prospect were hit by a tornado. However, this looks like straight line wind damage to me. The wind here is mostly coming out of the same direction, which is not what a tornado does. With a tornado the wind very drastically changes direction. It's normally very obvious that there's a rapid circulation to the wind with a tornado. Moreover, the trees are falling in mostly the same direction here, which is much more indicative of straight line wind gusts.
Heartbreaking
So sad. The wind with severe thunder storms is worse than some tropical storms I've been in.
Shallow roots. Looks like the trees were planted when they were grown vs as a small plant or seed
Take a drive through Miami away from the tourist areas if you're ever down there. Some trees will have close to a 90 degree bend in them from past hurricanes, notably Andrew.
I’m so sorry 😞 😢to see this happening. I have lost trees in my yard from storms and it’s devastating to see how quickly things change in an instant. I hope you’re alright. That’s what really matters ❤
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
Tornado messes up nice landscaping and tears down all the beautiful old trees. It could have been worse (like the trees falling on the house) but this is depressing.
I live about 15 miles from where this happened, there was a few buildings that were destroyed and a lot that were damaged
hmmm... Nature Pruning, very expensive, as it always was/is.
thank you, for the update.
They look lucky nothing landed on their house but something probably did. Prayers for everyone tonight
Wow, every one of those trees were ready to fall as they were all leaning.
Those are young trees.
So sad...those trees were so well cared for, you can see they've been lovingly maintained. Its good, if they were going to fall, it happened in the yard. From this video it seems the house is safe.
😂😂😂😂
You can see all that?
Damn
Of course, so can anyone who appreciates the trees around their home. Those trees have been lifted and thinned. No excess bark. No killing vines. So yeah, I can tell.
I was sad to see all those beautiful trees go down. I have a lot of big trees so now I know what it looks like if it happens here in northern Illinois I am sorry for your loss.
Many of those trees appear to have not been planted properly...whenever you see a trunk going straight into the ground without a large root flare above grade, chances are that tree was planted improperly and the tree was unable anchor itself sufficiently below grade. Look at those two trees in the garden (right side behind the large planter pots) - they look mulched right up to the trunk (which can cause rot and decay at the base of the trunk), and I don't see any root flare at the base of the trunk. Classic example of trees that are planted too deeply that likely failed to root out properly. Also, there was no "tornado" here, or conditions of a tornado...just strong straight-line winds that often accompany the arrival of a thunderstorm or heavy downpour, called a "microburst."
Can you imagine walking out your door after?
Omg!! What a disaster! Omg….where in Michigan?
Are their roots only in 6 feet deep or something. Didnt seem that strong wind
Fricken scarry hope everyone is safe
We have never boughten a new home simply because there are no mature trees and landscaping.
I feel their pain.
So sad. Hopefully you can replant soon! 😢
Such power
Omg- so sad losing all those trees
Im more impressed the flag stayed.
What a bummer 😞
This sucks, tornadoes blow.
I am so sorry for you. I have never seen that happen 😮
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
Well there goes the shade 😩
The Yard was Beautiful But Suddenly Trees Started Falling And There was this tree that looked beautiful but then a Branch fell and then the tree fell :
That sucks so bad!
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
I hate when that happens I have seen heard it you feel them in the house when they hit the ground and it always upsets me, hate chain saws…
Wow. Unbelievable
I know that the most important thing is that people are safe, but it guts me to see such beautiful trees destroyed in seconds. It’ll be 20 years before new ones will be that big. I hope other property damage was minimized 🙏
This situation sucked, tornadoes blow.
wow 5 trees
Saruman would have been proud.
Losing the trees has gotta suck too. I know losing life or a house is worst, but losing trees like these has got to suck. Because they take so long to grow.
That’s one durable flag…
those are some super strong pots to not blow over
Wow!
Dag! I’m always terrified one of my trees will fall. But all of them 😢
Wild
Looks like those trees didnt have much for roots. Makes me wonder if they were transplanted when the neighborhood was built and never developed a proper root system.
Depresses me deeply
