Quick post ...
We had a huge thunderstorm come through Arlington on the 4th of July, knocking down trees all over the neighborhood. A huge, healthy pine tree snapped off like a matchstick, leaving a 10-foot stump behind. An old tree split down the middle, bringing down power lines and closing an entire 4-lane street. Another came down right over a car, miraculously propped up by one branch, sparing the car any damage.
What I noticed most was how neighbors came out to look at the trees, almost in mourning -- walking around in stunned silence, hands over their mouths.
