“I think it’s important to prepare if you have dangerous trees near your house, but I mean, you can’t say whether or not they are going to come down for sure or not,” said Dex Griffith with On Track Excavation.

Jake Chapman, KIRO 7 NewsKING COUNTY, Wash. — With more strong winds on the way to Puget Sound, power companies like Seattle City Light are expecting more power outages — even downed power lines.

“But we haven’t had anything out here like this in a long time. There have been other trees in the city that have gone down, but this kind of wind, I’m really surprised,” Barnett said.Ring camera video caught a tree falling between two homes, causing slight damage to one and missing the other. Dex Griffith with On Track Excavation removed the tree from the homeowner’s property. He tells KIRO 7 that the tree that fell was between 80 and 100 feet long.

He says it might be worth it for homeowners to know what trees on or around their property are problematic.
