First Day of Spring

March 20, 2011

I believe this is a hackberry tree crashing into that nice Smooth as Silk on C Street, where I go, if infrequently, to get pedicures, facials and expensivo moisturizers.  The tree was formerly rooted behind Burgers and Brew and the news crew estimated it to be about 80 feet tall.  And heavy.

Here’s the roof close up.  Youch.

Meanwhile, over on Third, between B and University, another hackberry (I believe) has fallen, this one landing on Ciocolat.  We saw people inside, however, drinking their coffees and eating their scones… not as much damage was done here… just a road closure.

Here’s what that tree looked like, as close as they’d allow me to get.

The 10-day outlook is for more rain.  And probably more wind storms.  More canceled practices and more canceled Little League games.  A big messy mess.
