I was in Durham after during the built-up to whatever hurricane hit in 1999. Everybody was very worried because of Fran, but it was basically a big nothing as far as damage in Durham.
On second thought, maybe it was a bad idea to plant all those nice-looking white pines out in the open backyard ~25 years ago, since they grow insanely fast and tall in such a context.
Remember how Cub Scouts use ‘pinewood’ to make their derby cars? They use pine because the wood is *soft* and *weak* !! Who says plant ecology is an esoteric subject?
BTW, is that not an incredibly ugly house? Did they build so big that they ran out of money for windows? And, I think I know why insurance premiums keep going up.
