Things I didn't learn until very recently, despite living in the Pacific Northwest all my life... (An essay on tall trees, logging, and disaster preparedness, which hopefully will entertain and/or educate some of you.) Douglas Firs are one of the world's tallest tree types, commonly reaching 250 feet at maturity, but often up to 300 feet or more. I knew growing up that they were tall--I mean, c'mon, look at them up there!!--but I didn't know it was extremely rare for other trees to be taller. That, and I had grown up hearing all my life that Coast Redwoods (sequoias) are The Tallest. For reference, the 3 tallest tree types are the Douglas Fir (Pacific Northwest), Coast Redwood (northern California & Oregon), and the Mountain Ash (Australia). According to current living tree measurements, the tallest is indeed a Coast Redwood, nicknamed "Hyperion." As of last recorded measurement, it stands at just under 381 feet tall. However...according to historical documents, the tallest tree measured in recorded history was a Douglas Fir felled in western Washington State. It was measured by tape after being cut down in 1897, and was reported to be a whopping 466 feet (142 meters) in length. I did not know this until recently. Weirdly enough, it was not taught in school, despite much of our state funding for our public schools coming *from* logging enterprises on townships set aside specifically *to* pay for much of our school systems' needs. We were taught that the trees were big enough for the stumps to be turned into "one room cottages" (what people today would call Tiny House Living), but we were always told that the Redwoods Were Taller. An article by *The Seattle Times* from Sept 4th, 2011 stated: "The Nooksack Giant, as we’ll call it here, was unceremoniously felled with crosscut saws, then cut into massive sections and yarded a short distance across the valley floor to rail cars, which hauled the logs west to New Whatcom, now Bellingham. There, one cross-section was displayed on the corner of Railroad Avenue and Holly Street, bearing a sign noting the tale of the tape: 465 feet in height, with 220 feet of clear stalk between the ground and the first branch. The tree was nearly 11 feet in diameter, 34 feet in circumference, and provided more than 96,000 board feet of lumber - enough to construct eight large, two-story houses. A count of its rings indicated an age of at least 480 years - young, by giant tree standards, and obviously still growing." According to Wikipedia, the previous record holder, the second tallest recorded tree from back in 1872, was an Australian Mountain Ash. It was also measured on the ground after being dropped, with a reputed height of 433 feet. And in 1893, a Coast Redwood that was felled also measured as being even taller than the tallest current giant (381 feet), with the third-place tree coming in at just over 429 feet when measured on the ground. It should be noted that in fourth and fifth place were also two more Douglas Firs, 415 feet (British Columbia, cut down in 1902) and 390 feet (Washington State) respectively. The lattermost, sitting in fifth place, has been noted by the federal government as the oldest Douglas Fir on record. While there are no records I could find on exactly when it finished toppling over, it apparently finally came down during a storm in the early 20th century, after first losing sections of its crown over a few years. I could not find whether the height of 433 was before or after the other segments were lost...but I suspect it was measured after they were lost, given the exactness of the reported measurement. No mention of how long the other segments were, so we unfortunately will never know if it was taller than the tallest recorded Douglas Fir, the one cut down back in 1897. Due to a great deal of clearcut timber harvesting in the Pacific Northwest from the mid 19th through much of the 20th century, a lot of truly tall trees were cut down with no regards to their height or longevity, with the lumberjacks and landowners only seeing in them their potential boardfeet value. (Douglas Fir is considered highly valuable as a construction and building lumber, being mostly straight-trained and remarkably sturdy and strong for a softwood.) Conversely, due to the need to secure a recurring source of timber to sustain the logging industry economically, a remarkable amount of ecological knowledge and forestry management guidelines have come out of the Pacific Northwest, progressed by concerned citizens, botanists, ecologists, and timber industry specialists. While the logging industry has been at odds with forestry scientists for quite a long time, most are finally working hand-in-hand to perform better land management practices, planting many more trees than they harvest, sustainably thinning at intervals rather than clearcutting wholesale, and encouraging their employees to understand more about the needs of good forestry management for the betterment of their environment and local communities. ...Unfortunately, not all logging companies have complied with the recommended practices of leaving a certain number of trees still intact. Just a little over ten years ago, the massive landslide at the community of Oso, not too far from the town of Darrington, WA, happened. It was determined to have been exacerbated by poorly managed logging practices; the logging company working on the slopes above the housing communities of Oso denuded that slope of too many trees, which in turn allowed their tree roots to rot. This caused gaps in the soil of the slopes for excess water to infiltrate during the late winter and early spring rains...and without living roots to hold the soil in place, the land mass slumped, wiping out homes, the only road through that area (turning a 15 minute drive into town into a 50-60 minute drive), as well as obliterating telephone lines, cell towers (see below), and lives. It is, of course, quite possible that the landslide would have still happened to some degree in the spring of 2014...but all experts agree that the slide would have been considerably smaller if the clear-cutting hadn't been so large, nor gotten so close to the slopes directly above all those homes, having cut their way into an area where they were not supposed to have cut. (I still remember to this day reading the front page article in the *Times,* printed a little while after the tragedy, which included images going over where they should have stopped cutting versus where they did actually cut.) Most of the trees that were logged were Douglas Firs. ...Regarding the cell towers lost at Oso, which also wiped out virtually all of the phone service in the town of Darrington. It took two days for phone company crews working round the clock to restore cell service. This delay greatly hampered efforts to coordinate rescue and cleanup. One of the emergency services response managers later on decided that he needed to design a shipping container packed with all the equipment, plus power generators and/or solar panels, that could be air-lifted by freight helicopter to just about any location that needed a near-instant setup of emergency communication services (cellphone, internet, etc). While each unit is costly (around $30,000 USD and assembled by volunteer labor), the MITRU, or Mobile Information Technology Response Unit, has proven itself to be extremely capable. These units were first deployed as a part of COVID vaccination efforts, and then later for various disasters and regions whereever cell or internet service is virtually nonexistent. This included several SAR incidents (Search And Rescue), as well as providing a command center for the month-plus Bolt Creek Fire in 2022, which caused burning trees to topple across Highway 2, causing the road's closure for weeks. (Same county as Oso.) The county's ability to air-deliver a mobile communications hub greatly sped up the firefighters' efforts at containing and quelling the wildfire. While the Oso landslide was indeed a major tragedy for the region, impacting many lives across western and eastern Washington, it did beget a means to help improve emergency service efforts and speed up the recoveries of communities following other tragedies. If anyone is interested in learning more about the MITRU system, you can google "Snohomish County MITRU" to find more details on the service, or perhaps to have your own community invite the inventor, who still works in emergency services for the county, to come give a talk to your own regional emergency services management teams. I do strongly recommend other municipalities consider investing in similar units of their own. Rapid communication is the lifeblood of rescue & recovery services. (And just think, you got to be educated & entertained while listening to rain falling on the Douglas Firs of the Pacific Northwest! Neat, huh?)

Beautiful. Very calm and peaceful

love the piano

Seepy cozy baby 🥺❤

Is this a real video or photo generated?

Well. This is spooky. But well done

I love this music! There's variety to it. I feel like the other ones had 4 songs and then repeated over again.
