    better than Oakland, CA where they will burn your tree down before you even get a chance to turn on the lights!

    Similar situation in a town north of the Metro. Billed as the tallest Christmas in the world, they didn't consider the strength of the Oklahoma winds...as it comes whistling (literally) through the trees.

    I actually work to do the same in my town, thankfully it’s still standing.

    Unfortunately when the tree fell it suffered severe damage and was unable to be salvaged

    ENID, Okla. — As far as organizers know, Enid's downtown Christmas tree is still the world's tallest fresh-cut tree in 2021, despite losing nearly 30 feet in height overnight thanks to high winds.
