Thankfully had some ratchet straps and stakes handy. But man, that didn't happen before in the last 10 years.

That's been one of the worries in the back of my head about my neighbour's aspens. About 60' tall and shake like crazy, if they go down they're doing a lot of damage and I'm downwind most of the time. Though I guess the bright side of suckers popping up all over my yard is that the roots are pretty widely spread.
