We had a HUGE storm here on Tuesday. Seriously. I haven't seen wind like we had since I lived in the Netherlands. We used to talk about the horizontal rainfall in Holland, and that's what we had on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, that means that we had a casualty in the backyard. Our poor tree, which we now know was a fruitless plum (thanks Steven) couldn't handle the rain and wind and completely tipped over.
A big thanks goes out to Pablo and his buddy who came to cut it down on Thursday. We still miss our purple tree though.
So sad! Just a big whole in the yard.
ReplyDeleteWHOA - we had gusts up to 60-70mph here, but didn't come across any fallen trees. That is amazing and sad. I'm glad it didn't damage the house at all.
ReplyDeleteI hate to see trees go down. Especially one that's that pretty. We had a wind storm here the other day. It pulled several stop signs right out of the ground. Not that it's the same thing as a tree, I'm just sayin'...
