Tree next to my tower snapped in 02/17/06 Artic Storm

"The tree limb landed within inches of the shed. It snapped into two pieces when it hit ground leaving one piece snarled in my tower guy wires"

Multi-branch section of tree limb snarled in tower guy wires after it finally hit the ground during the artic blast on 02/17/2006.

I'm an Alaska Airlines Inside Lead now for ASIG. I work at Alaska Airlines Ground Operations at SeaTac Airport running down fuel loads and keeping the Outside Lead up to date on fuel load changes, swaps, maintenance delays and late flights. I also fuel flights when needed. I've been fueling aircraft since the Mid 90's.
