  1. We had the same storm in here too. Lots of damage.

  2. I saw some of the effects of Bert on the news here. Substantial damage in places. Welcome to anthropogenically- induced climate change. And no, folks, it’s not a hoax.

  4. If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to see it does it remain standing?

    God bless.

  5. We cut our big Maple before this happened. It was sad to see it go, but it had been threatening for a while..and with the wild weather we've been having the neighbors were afraid it would fall on their car, but it was actually well rooted after all. Thanks so much for this photo. If it was here it would be a home for the squirrels and maybe the raccoons too.

  9. With a combination of rain and wind trees sometimes do just fall over. You have documented this well.

  10. What a shamel! So much lack they do to planetary health! Mild and nice days, dear friend. A hug.🌈

  11. I'm always interested in the things that were buried beneath the roots...a kind of monument to times gone past when that tree first started its life.

  13. Oh how sad. Trees are so important to us, it's sad to see one that has fallen.

  20. Unlike human beings it's part of nature. Nature will survive.

  21. Doesn't look like it had very many roots.

  22. Either the wind was very strong or the tree was very weak... or both.
