Close call....

Had a large maple leader break off in today's wind at jobsite. Missed my son by inches..... He has a welt on his thigh from a thin new growth branch but is otherwise fine. I was fifty feet from him when I heard the crack and looked up to see it falling right at him. Ten inch diameter at the break, which was 20-25 feet up. I can't describe the horror/fear/helplessness I felt as it happened. Just ran over and gave him a hug....
Give your loved ones a hug. You never know.....
