Tree Blocking W. 30th Street
A tree crushed a truck and took out some power lines on the 900 block of W. 30th Street. The report came from the Woodland Heights Yahoo Group. Anybody grab a picture.

Holy smokes! That’s quite a tree!!!
Scary part is…..that tree actually looks pretty healthy.
Oak trees have shallow roots. When there’s a dry spell followed by lots of rain to saturate the ground, especially with wind, there ya go. Isabel did the same thing times a thousand.
We had a tree down across Bland St. for a couple of days. Didn’t get any pictures, though, and the guys with the trucks cleaned it up yesterday afternoon.
The road is now open, as of Sunday afternoon, although they left a fair amount of debris on either side of the road and what’s left of the tree is on top of the pickup truck and its huge root ball is on the sidewalk.
Today (Monday) they came back and cleaned up a lot of debris that was left.
