This is my situation........maybe you can comment? On top of a hill, but there is another hill about 1/2 mile away that is a bit higher. The storm is coming from the southwest btw and most of the trees are to the south and west of us. They are Doug fir in clumps with lots of space between. Some of them are over 100-150 ft tall.....and big. There hasn't been any disturbance of the soil for years, I think that is good? I have heard that the limbs act like sails and catch the wind. What is bothering me is that we have had a tremendous amount of rain in the last month and that the soil......which is loam for about 2-3 ft and then hard clay.........is saturated and the root ball won't hold. I have seen uprooted Doug fir, and they sure didn't have what I would consider big root balls. Our bedroom is on the north side of the house, so if one does go down we probably won't be in danger. I have 17ft high ceilings and I don't think those beams will hold those trees if they come down.
