Sadly, it, along with another large tree in our front yard, could not withstand the ferocious storm that whipped through our neighborhood last night. From the reports on the area news, I'd say we were lucky that all we lost were a few trees. We found ourselves seeking safety in a closet at 3:30 this morning. Although the neighborhood sirens never sounded, there was a tornado warning issued for Collin County and we thought it better to be safe. The city trucks drove down our alley this morning evaluating damage and said they felt sure a small tornado had swept through part of Plano. One described an area of North Plano as looking like a "war zone".
Soooo ... I guess we'll be tree shopping soon!
I didn't get a picture of the tree out front before our neighbors had already started pitching in to saw it up and move it. The trees had completely blocked our alley way in two places.
