Wind Blows Trees Down All Around Town

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

Around 2:30pm the winds picked up and the trees started coming down...

While many were not so spectacular, the reports of trees down made us think it might
be time to warn you, look up when walking.

Heavy damage to the tree, and the house!

As the city's arborist ran off to the next down tree in Madison Park he could be heard
saying, "Silver Maples, never should have been planted, too brittle!" I mentioned I had
lost 3, he said the city had over 480, now down to 80!

Be safe.

Some residents of Roycroft are being led out of their homes as wires have come down after a
large tree fell in one their yards.

Be careful!
