We've hardly had any snow, no less ice.

More like a windstorm here in SoCal Tree Slayer!
Trees on houses, trees going over rootball and all.
Me going up trees in the process of going over, cutting like a madman trying to reduce as much windsail as possible before those last roots snap, and the elevator goes down!
Makes my dinner and beer taste just a little better as I dry out by the fire.
Unfortunately this last series of storms here has resulted in quite a few tree related fatalities.

Sounds a little fun but very crazy at the same time. Be safe man.

Crazy is the waterspouts/tornadoes coming ashore in Huntington's beach throwing 40 foot cattamarrans and sailboats up in the air like toys!

reminds me of bathtime when I was a kid....
i had the coolest bath toys ever, WWII model ships!!! they were not meant to be in the bathtub so I had to waterproof them. The biggest was my carrier at almost 3 feet! Of course I was not in the tub......

Which leaves the choice of whether a shortboard or longboard is best to ride that wave?
Old School longboard for sure dude!

Yup, forget about it.
Outofmytree use to do the same thing but he had to use a US carrier because the Aussies dont have a real navy. I hear he is still missing 3 or 4 planes off the deck that they never found.

Seems like pert near every time one of you east coast climbers get out to SoCal and slap eyes on a few of our medium sized eucs, yu get real quiet and homesick.
Though I've no doubt you'd slay them plenty quick, chop chop!

Hoister,

Above average climber
Those pictures were pretty tame (except the powerline).
It's not uncommon to see entire neighborhoods with every tree on the ground or mostly broken up in Missouri. That is probably why we don't have those monster trees you guys are always posting pictures of.
That ice covered stuff is uncommon heavy, and almost no way to drag it anywhere.
Take that google search that JPS posted and then type in Missouri at the end. Compare!
