How many lives do you have?!?! Glad you were ok!!!
I've always said my personality is more cat-like, so maybe I have 9. But I sure have had a long string of near-death experiences. Hoping my luck doesn't run out anytime soon.
What are the odds? Those leaning trees had been hanging up in a large beech tree for weeks. I'm working, riding my ATV and running my GPS and I just happen to stop in that one location. Sitting on my ATV engine idling and looking at my GPS I heard a loud pop, looked over at the trees and the trunks appeared to be rotating. Looking straight up I realized the whole group of trees were coming right down on my head. I've always wondered if you knew a tree was falling on you, could you dodge it? The answer is yes, but only if you have very fast reflexes. And even then I took a pretty good wallop in the head from branches.
That was one of the few times in my life where the whole event felt like an "out-of-body" experience. Usually, near-death-experiences take a while to sink in. Not that one. As I turned around to see the aftermath of the trees crushing the spot where I had been sitting, I had instant recognition of how a second or two was the difference between life and death. Have to admit, gave me a pretty bad case of "the shakes" for a bit.
