So interesting how it pulled up the carpet of grass with it.

Large tree uprooted and topped onto home in Morgan City, LA. Woman was asleep when it hit her house. She is fine.

1. That's interesting looking.

I scrolled down to other posts and there's a video from inside the eye wall of Ida. I don't know how to post from twitter.

3. That's some seriously tough sod.

Cut the tree out, set the sod back in place, and soon it will look like nothing dramatic ever happened there.

5. my thought too... that sod will lay back down nicely. plant a nice young tree in the spot

7. Weird shallow tree roots

It's like this tree just got planted and hadn't spread its roots yet?

I can only guess, but most tree roots go as deep into the ground as the highest branches go up off the ground.
