Went out in the AM, was super windy, sustained 25-35 with gust up to 50. So we went to drop a couple small dead trees. 1st one, no problem, 2nd, not so much. Set a line and cut a notch. Started back cut and was right there, guys where pulling and tree was going, then the wind shifted and we had a huge gust, maybe 45-50mph, back the other way................it almost went bad. Stood the tree straight up. I dropped the saw and ran over to them and held it until the wind died and then it came right over. HOLY CRAP that was scary, would have nailed a fence. We where going to go out for the day, and do little stuff, but that was enough to call it. My fault, as I took the little fella for granted, should have climbed it first getting the crap off before laying it over. Tree had no leaves, mostly wood, little bit a stems and twigs on one side, but that wind still pushed that thing around like a rag doll.
