Almost lost a tree

Downed Tree

We had a  bigger than usual storm with lots of rain and wind.  While the surrounding area did suffer some damage with fallen trees and limbs crushing a few cars we came out of it relatively unscathed.  The only near casualty was a small tree in our back yard that was blown over.  It fell against the deck so it didn't come completely out of the ground.  So, I put in some big stakes and used two small come-a-long style synchs to  pull the tree back into place.  Hopefully it recovers.

Lots of people were without power for several days but we only had a minor 5min outage the first morning.  My office was half down for 3 days though.
