Traffic alert: Madrona tree down on Jacobsen Road

Thanks to Dan for the tip and the photo – a madrona tree has fallen from the slope over Jacobsen Road (between Seaview and Beach Drive), blocking most of the westbound (downhill) lane. He says it just happened about half an hour ago.

3:44 PM NOTE: As the wild weather continues – we’re under a “short-term forecast” alert for at least another half-hour (that explains the current downpour) – might even see some lightning.

    Wow, that could have killed me. Lucky my right knee is so screwed up I didn’t walk today. I know exactly where that particular tree is! Or shall I say, was.

    Further proof not to let greedy developers build on hillsides!

    @Nulu: I agree 100%! No to greedy developers on hillsides!

    Whoa! Normally, my brother Genesee Hill and I are on a walk through here about that time. Fortunately,he’s got a bum knee and I am in Sweden where it’s cold and slippery, but not windy.

Sorry, comment time is over.
