That day a dead oak nearly took out my truck on a job in Raleigh

I was removing a big red oak in a backyard off Glenwood Ave last Tuesday, had it all rigged up and ready to come down in sections. A gust of wind caught the top just as I was making my cut, and it swung hard left - missed my F-250 by maybe 2 feet before the rope caught. Has anyone else had a close call like that where you just stood there shaking for a minute after?

Read something about an arborist in Charlotte who had a similar close call last spring.
