Feel free to use any of the storm photos, but please let me know (just responding to this comment would be quite adequate).

It would appear to be the rootball of a fallen tree...

It happens a lot in urban environments because trees can't grow their roots out as far as they would naturally, so there's not as much earth for them to grab on to.

Yup. Monster oak tree got blown over in the University President's garden. It's the same tree shown in P7210023, but from the opposite end.
