Falling Trees

Today's brief but very strong wind kept firefighters and residents busy cleaning up fallen trees and their limbs. All over town there were limbs, large and small covering streets and yards but at least six locations also had very large limbs and even huge portions of complete trees broken down. In two of the below photos you can see a split in two Cottonwood tree laying in the street and another crushing a large cable line that it fell across. The split tree was on the north side of town near the old Dave's Grocery building and the one sitting on the cable line was at the top of Sixth Ave. So. The photo with the firemen cutting limbs was also behind Dave's Grocery. County Attorney, Merle Raph's vintage Chevy car just missed being crushed by a large limb at that residence. Duke Gardipee had a huge limb blocking his driveway.
