Trees

Tonight's latest storm is strong enough here that it is ripping branches off the tree in the front yard of my duplex.

I found one on the front sidewalk when I was on my way out at about 10 til 7. A branch that would require cutting apart for garbage. I moved that to the side of the house until I could deal with it over the weekend.

I came home around 45 minutes later to find a rather large limb full of leaves and what have you, covering a section of the front lawn and my sidewalk. I'm a little freaked now, imagining one of these branches coming in through a window, or crashing into the roof. Not much I can do about it, but hope the wind dies down and call the landlord since I can't clean up something like that myself.

I should ask my friend Laurie if this is a sign of a diseased tree that the branches were breaking off like that. I did not think it was blowing that hard, but maybe I was wrong.

That explains all the tree work they were doing yesterday then. I didn't seen anything more than the normal branches we get but I am on the other side of the loop - gusts could be different, etc.

I saw LES was out this morning too doing who knows what but maybe it's related?
