UPDATE: Wind Damage around town...

I got an email from an avid reader and this is what she had to say about a fallen tree near cook school on Lafayette Avenue this morning, ironically I drove by that area a couple minutes before that tree must of fell. "I just read your blog. Hey, you oughta see the tree in front of Cook School that was uprooted this morning. It's a huge cedar tree. I talked to some neighborhood kids while I was there & they said that it happened sometime while they were at the store this morning. It was up when they went to the store & down on the street when they returned. On my way from my parents' house to school, I couldn't help but notice it. I went to check it out, but by the time I arrived, the city had cleared away enough of the tree to clear both lanes of Lafayette Avenue & the sidewalk. I guess the school itself will have to clean up the rest...I think that tree was probably planted when the school was built, which was 76 years ago." What a shame, I bet the kids will all be down and out when school is back in session. Anyone else who has any stories about wind damage can email it to grant@mcminnvilleweather.com. Take Care!
