A falling tree branch nearly destroyed our window cooling system
Our area has been getting hit with intense Winter time storms right now.
I’m used to the rain storms down south when I lived near the ocean, but the ice plus snow is new to me.
I didn’t realize that these Winter time storms can pack a dire punch between high winds plus heavy precipitation. You have to be careful plus avoid the tied up highways if you recognize a snow plus ice storm is headed your way. Some people aren’t experienced driving on these roads if they don’t live in this kind of weather conditions year after year. I get more concerned about other drivers in these stormy conditions than I do with our own. Still, it’s smart to avoid the roads if you are concerned about the weather during the Winter time season. Unfortunately, you might not necessarily be safe in your home either. When I heard a large snapping noise during a Winter time storm Last year, I didn’t expect to hear a wood plus metal smashing noise just seconds later. Upon running outside, I could see that a huge branch snapped off our oak trees plus had destroyed our window cooling system while nearly puncturing our new home as well. The a/c was laying disfigured in a pile of metal on the ground under the broken branch. As distraught as I was about our window cooling system getting destroyed, I was definitely relieved that the branch failed to impact the side of the house. I can get a new window cooling system for around $200, but the building repairs would have been several thoUSnds dollars at least.
