Sad day six years ago when the old oak tree blew over in a wind storm. It had taken no telling how many decades to grow on the bare rock of the bluff.
@rdaily Looks like it simply didn't have room to grow in with its roots, making it easier to topple over.

@trinsec True, the same storm took down several trees around the house. Straight line winds coming up the bluff. This was just the one that was the most majestic, in a gnarly, had a hard life, way. A large pine further down the bluff just missed the house when it fell. Tips raked the bricks and broke the railing on a side deck.
