Trees down everywhere

Many without electricity and soooo many trees down in streets. Around us, crews and residents did a great job of getting them out of streets. Debris everywhere- leaves and branches littering yards. Tree limbs everwhere. Huge trucks cracked And so many like this picture from The New York Times slide show where the root system snapped off just a foot or so underground. Often the grass is pulled up looking like a hanging sheet of astroturf hung over the roots to dry. We are right At the water but managed no water in our yard at the new house. The old house was spared but the yard was soaked and the lake came in to make a swamp in the forest area.
Scroll down for photos of that yard in an earlier post.
