Washington State – The Tree, 1990
In assessment, the house was racked out of plumb some 3 inches while the weight of the tree was on it. This made it difficult, if not impossible to open doors & windows. After the storm had completely passed, Joan hired a boom crane and logging crew to remove the tree. Over 40-tons of tree came off the house! The house then flexed back to its original position with no visible damage except for the roof overhand. The doors opened and not one window was broken. Not even the one that came within a foot of the tree!
