Most media neglected to mention it and it doesn't even have its own thread on Thumped. Let's give poor Franklin some love.

this is my favourite storm cos my great grandmother's family name was Franklin and we're distantly related to old Ben

we had contractors in last week to remove the old pines that were threatening the neighbours house. That work was done on thursday. we cheaped out in leaving the trees that couldn't reach the neighbours house, of those, three came down in franklin and stopped exactly at the neighbours wall.

Also @magicbastarder I can't understate how much pine I have to chop through, you are welcome to a few free blanks at some stage if you like, i'll be dicing stuff up for 2-3 years. you know those trucks balcas have going about full of trunks? Enough to load at least one of those fully. I need chainsaws for arms.

cheers but i'm kinda swamped with wood at the moment, and more to come. i managed to convince a neighbour to take down a probably 40 foot ash tree in her garden which was 20 foot from her (and our) house, as it had two ropes tied around it at some point which had grown over, so we didn't know if it was compromised or not. in hindsight, good timing. i got all the wood.

Three storms in a few days, as the worst of damage goes it's alright. It wasn't an expensive thing. Lost a raspberry cane as well which I'm more upset about tbh

i know a lad who was working in his shed the other day when this happened

It's weird that his shed is bigger than his house
