poor tree...

This tree now occupying several business parking spots in the Osco Brooks Rite-Aid parking lot had been standing this morning:

Did it get knocked down by today's storms?

No, that would be highly illogical. Gremlins are the far more likely culprit.

I agree.

nah, I think it just decided to have a lie down to catch a few Zzz's.....

Tree hugger.

No, it's just resting.

Pining for the fjords...

I watched a small work truck knock down about that sized of a portion of a tree on my street today. The branches got snagged, the truck kept going, and half the tree came down. I would assume there's some law about how they would be responsible for the cost of clearing the debris, and maybe some tree surgery, but then a few seconds later the huge storm rolled by, so by all appearances it will *look* to anyone who wasn't home that the tree took storm damage.

See, that's the kind of thing I was wondering about...I mean, it could have been an accident, and there were no cars trapped under the tree, which seems unusual. On a given afternoon I would think that all those spaces would be occupied. But I didn't know how hard the middle of Davis had been hit by the storm. In my portion of Central Square at work we missed almost all the storm drama today.

Fairly hard; the wind was pretty intense and driving for a good while. If the tree had been weakened already by something, I wouldn't be surprised at it coming down.

That said, that's not how I'd have expected a tree felled by wind to break off...

It was a pretty rough storm. The tree that fell on apricot3's house makes that one look like kindling. It was nasty (and lucky it didn't take out more of the house -- or mine).

Expect Rite-Aid to whip up a batch of bark-extract facial scrubs. Just a hunch.

A biggish tree fell down on my North Cambridge street also.
