That's terrifying. I can hear the trauma in her voice. So glad this couple & their dogs made it out ok.
Now the adventure of your insurance company trying to get out of it begins. I would like to see a follow up on their repair experience.
If it's anything like what the insurance companies did in SE. Louisiana after the hurricane in 2021 it may never get fixed....just watch out for roaming rouge contractors they swarm like bees 🐝 🐝 to disaster areas to con people out of 💰💰💰💰💰💰
June/July claim denied
Absolutely horrifying. Glad you, and the pups survived. 😮
I feel so bad for these people. I was in a terrible storm just like this one. I had 35 trees fall around my area and i had PTSD for a while afterwards. If i heard a tree creak my skin would freeze and i would feel that fear. Its unlike anything ive ever experienced.😮
You have to have a short memory. Get over it, its in the past. .... These people live in multi million dollar homes and are complaining that they are too dumb ?
@@olecamohatmcgilicudy4256 Not from what I saw it was normal middle class homes.......Bitter Much?????
@@conniepitts8392Yes it is bitter cold lil, lady, and no the homes in that area are multi million dollar properties.
Gee, imagine if they had lived on Maui in Lahaina ! PTS from trees falling ... get a grip !
@@kookietherapy9398 obviously you have never been in a storm where trees were falling. Even a falling branch can impale you. And about Maui....well I don't even want to get into that discussion. I've been in a house fire but what ever that was it was not normal. It was horrific.
I had this happen to me in Eugene a few years ago. It is the main thing that motivated me to leave the big trees. I had 80 acres of 60 to 80 foot doug firs on Spencer Butte falling and breaking branches that sound just like rifle shots. Terrifying. One fell across the front doorway and blocked the exit completely. The power was out for a week and it was 15 degrees outside just like this time. Scary as heck. I'll never live in the big trees again.
Did you move back to California?
@@ricksmith4736 Never lived in California. How's Alabama?
Dang 80 Acre!!? you could have helped house 80 homeless and provide 1 acre for them to maintain. Instead you complaining about your unpreparedness?
@@ricksmith4736
Maybe question why all the trees are in decline 🤔 spraying poison on everything!
Another reason to take Community Emergency Response Team training. Neighbors helping neighbors.
Mother Nature is no joke! I’ve been in California for many years now. Still miss Oregon but lived in Mojave Desert 4 years b4 moving to new house. I am always prepared for Mother Nature to shake things up. Even thru Mount St Helen’s eruption, hurricane in Portland, floods, Northridge earthquake, forest fire in S.Carolina, etc. most frightening was having Mojave Green rattle snake curl at my feet with my 3 big dogs keeping it away. Gotta love dogs….They’ll die to save you. Stay safe in this cold, be ready for whatever hits. God bless you all.
I quit after finding out I was being asked for personal medical information. It's run by FEMA BTW
You can educate yourself, make preparations and help neighbors without FEMA !
Take care OR, we went through a wildfire in 2018. 💜
God bless and be with you
If you buy a house in the trees,when the wind blows they come down. And they are more likely to fall when some have been removed to some to build a new house.
Hmm. The windows didn’t work??
I lived & grew up in Portland from age 7 to 18. Went to school in Oswego. We were always ready to emergencies bcuz we had tons of camping equipment that we used. A fireplace & sleeping bags on floor & furniture. Our house had a sloped driveway to the garage that we would water down in winter to sled down on cardboard. My dad never panicked. Camp stoves we’re in the garage & only 1 tree that is still standing.
😢😢😢😢😢 so happy you guys and the dogs are out safe! The trauma You just had!!!😩🥺🥺
Thanking GOD for your safety Amen❤🎉😊
That's terrifying
Don't throw the Ball Roots away, give them to a Craftsman that can make beautiful Burlwood Tables from them.
Priority one right now for sure
@@lauraleecosgrove3796 It is if you are Wealthy and need a nice Burlwood Table for your Vacation Cabin. Stop being so shellfish.
Hopefully they can SELL the wood to recoup some of their loss. And we both know those can fetch a pretty penny.
@@lauraleecosgrove3796
ikr?
Trees are dangerous, especially close to homes, heartbreaking, blessings 🙌 . 🇨🇦.
Thank God they are safe!
This is sad to see. I am so glad they didn't get hurt. I hope that their home gets fixed up so they can be back into their home. We should always think about cutting the trees down because they could fall at any time no matter if there is a storm or not.
Wow thank god you and the dogs made it out of there alive! How terrifying!
Katy is by far one of the best reporters I’ve seen lately, polite, respectful and empathetic, she’s human. She doesn’t sound like these other stepford reporters that all talk the same, with the same tonality and cadence which is so incredibly annoying that I can’t even watch them. My heart goes out to these communities that are devastated by these storms, it will no doubt take a while to get their lives back together. 🦋🌻❤️
Hang in there. Thankfull your ok !The PSTD is the hardest part ! Talk to friends and get support. We got hit by two trees 2 days ago and two trees hit us 3 years ago. We saw it come down on us in bed through our sky light ! We are considering moving to be more comfortable!
Good report, Channel 12, KPTV.
but how many crackpots in today's comment section?
I had an entire Douglas Fir fall across the roof of my rental, but the trunk broke at just the right height that it laid flat across the top of the roof without crushing it in at all. I was very fortunate.
What kind of storm makes so many big trees like this fall?
Probably a man made storm like most of them
😢 thank God you survived!
Wow 😢😢
Why not climb out a window? Seems like it would’ve been easier than chopping your way out. Still , scary situation, must’ve been really high winds , not much reported about that.
Look at the couple that should answer your question. Lol
@@Raidersforlife229 Imagine them when the grid goes down
@@cindytackett7106 lol cindy
Dang, that is a big tree....lol.
Another storm is coming
The Douglas Firs and other giant trees belong in the forest. Sorry about that.
The houses were built in the forest
@@whatsup5791have any of those great western white pine the state tree of Idaho? They are beautiful.
WOW!!
Glad they're ok. Is this a microburst? Why so many trees ?
My daughter in laws dads house had 3 treesf fall on his house in Portland . No injuries
How terrifying!
🙏
So sad 😮😢
Wow. The world as we new it …is gone gone gone. 😔😢
Wow, thank God you're ok. Trust God to restore everything that's been lost.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Didn't God cause the problem? Pretty sure he is responsible for all the Horrors on Earth, or maybe the Devil did it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mother Nature laughs at your silly comment
There is no mother nature. This is Gods world. @@Notmep
Two houses down, class action today.
One word for this ... DAMMN!
Perhaps LO should change its tree policy. It's absurd to the point that it caused this mess. You want to chop a tree here, minimum 1 year with tons of reviews and public input. It's absurd.
Because only lake Oswego is important in the Portland area.
Trees falling in all states noticed no root system. Look to the skys there you will fine the answers. Does anyone else have the answer?
Weird coverage. So caught up in the couples story, makes zero mention of WHY the trees are falling. Wind happens everywhere. Big wind. Why was this different?
Everything is fine Folks, everything is perfectly normal!
This is terrible. Thats not their tree. Its the neighbors.
My understanding is that local ordinance prohibits cutting down trees. Great work, Greenies. How is this working out for you’all?
Fear and dread should be reserved for Reality. (An argument against delusional paranoia)… AND "Whatever doesnt kill you , makes you stronger."... Neitszche.
why is valley girl lingo spread even to men..everything goes up in tone like a question. They couldn't climb out a window?
OSU AND DEPAT OF FORESTRY PUSG=HING THIS
I don't like trees too much..I'm in high plains desert so definitely not a Forrest..I can't handle too many trees plus all that shade nope
