A few years ago, this large pine tree feel near our property. I got my chainsaw out and began cutting it up for firewood, starting at the top. When I got to the top of the trunk, it started to move. I stepped back and watch as it stood back up. A large rock was tangled in its roots, providing a counterweight. It's now our flagpole.
And this, kids, is the reason why you never stand at the bottom of an uprooted tree.
