Hope Part Phoenix Part 3 🤞🤞Rising from the ashes of Milton

 

source google map i can't find one of my zillions of photos other than the one below

my photo of bottom of tree, I have photo of this magnificent tree, but can't find them

The Banyon tree we see every day on our walk, the day after Milton. Now it is in pieces stacked all around the property, it did some damage to the house but no sure how much.

these huge stumps are all this is left of the beautiful Banyon Tree

it took 6 weeks to get from above to the two stumps beow.

Google map above is the view from the banyon tree that fell and the two trees to the right fell on that house during the storm and below is how they looked still standing.

how they looked on the 19th, 10 days After Hurricane Milton dumped them on the roof to the house

The stump of one is 6 feet wide, you can see the height by looking at my precious Beau who is now loving his walks because the streets are line with trees down on both sides and he smells every inch

Beau and I stopped to talk to the man that lives in this house and while talking I noticed HOPE springing from one of the stumps.

I titled this Hope, only because as we walked this week, the yard is clear but for 3 big stumps.  

The green growing from the dead stump is hope. There is sad part of this Phoenix Rising from the Ashes.

I asked the owner why the stumps did not go when they picked up the rest of the trees. The answer for both his house and the Banyon is......

He is arguing with the insurance company about the stumps. They paid for removing the tree off the roof and the rest of the tree was hauled off by contractor who are removing what they can. These 4 stumps are too big and require more cutting to fit in the trucks.

that is not covered.
