Most of the comments on this story, and others about trees falling, complain that the parks dept. or city isn't taking proper care of the trees and should be liable.Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-42318807041461770812012-07-20T10:57:52.242-04:002012-07-20T10:57:52.242-04:00Trees falling and hurting stuff is going to make p...Trees falling and hurting stuff is going to make people play doctor on them——by removing them.<br /><br />Seriously. When people eat and live unhealthy and their gall bladder starts acting up, they don't start eating steamed beet leaves or changing their lifestyle. They do the convenient thing: remove the offender!<br /><br />Later they suffer the wide-ranging consequences of not being able to digest fats properly.<br /><br />Trees and gall bladders are more important than we thought.Brian Bowmanhttp://www.arrowpeakhealingfarm.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-73020882687595766352012-07-19T20:20:35.935-04:002012-07-19T20:20:35.935-04:00Sadly, here is a story of a driver in the DC area ...Sadly, here is a story of a driver in the DC area killed by a falling tree...on a sunny day with no wind. The tree just fell over. Here is the punchline:<br /><br />"Arborists determined the tree fell because it was completely decayed at the roots, News4's Erika Gonzalez reported. Another tree in the area also was found to be decayed at the roots and will be removed."<br /><br /> http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Woman-Killed-by-Falling-Tree-in-Great-Falls-162801906.htmlBill Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551954408189665078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-27701899484081967572012-07-19T17:38:00.640-04:002012-07-19T17:38:00.640-04:00Chicago had a lot of windstorms last year.

All missing any sign of roots.<br /><br />Also conspicuous by absence is tree roots invading drain lines. No one talks about their root-clogged drain anymore. Saw the tool sitting at the hardware/rental yesterday. The rental guy said I saw it there on the floor because it was just returned and that was the first time it had gone out in weeks. Was once a much in demand tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-62452977360520031612012-07-19T16:57:28.150-04:002012-07-19T16:57:28.150-04:00They had a microburst all right.

The tree at 01:19 for example was a large, well-established tree. Seems like its root system should have been deeper.greatbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272481895573751738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-54102315452514130692012-07-19T13:52:19.783-04:002012-07-19T13:52:19.783-04:00Well, Michele, for sure we are getting stronger st...Well, Michele, for sure we are getting stronger storms.
