The drought in Georgia

We had the big pine tree in the front of the house die fairly suddenly a few weeks ago. Apparently, that's what happens after extreme drought. Even with slightly better rain this year, the dry times in the past were too much for that big old tree.

It took about 3 1/2 hours for the crew to take care of it, but I've condensed it into about a minute. Note the use of the "zip line". Because there are Crepe Myrtles right underneath the tree, they let the high cut branches slide down a rope into the yard instead of falling straight down.

Enjoy the video.
