ouch!

While riding my bike around the neighborhood yesterday and today, I was amazed to discover how much serious tree damage there was from Friday night's storms. Here's the worst example I've seen.


To the left of the pole with the street signs, notice where the big branch snapped.


It crashed through the nearer section of fence, took down utility lines, then crashed through the fence on the other side of the yard.


Com Ed truck #3 has just arrived. Now there are 2 big cherry pickers and one regular truck. That's one big mess to clean up. I feel bad for the neighbors whose power is out and for that poor wounded tree. I hope the power is restored soon.
