3:39 PM: It’s hard to fully appreciate the precarious dangling status of that branch on a wire/cable over the center of the Admiral Way hill without driving/riding under it, as we did (photo taken by passenger) this afternoon. We mentioned it in our as-it-happened windstorm coverage overnight, and it’s one of multiple trouble spots lingering today, with cleanup yet to come. Not seen in our photo, the cones and signage beneath it. If you know of other trees still blocking roads, aerially or otherwise, please let us know if you can so we can check on their status before the am commute – thank you!
5:52 PM: Two readers sent photos of the tree above, in the 9700 block of 42nd SW in Arbor Heights. … Below, not a major traffic hazard, but a look at another downed tree we mentioned last night:
The tree on 21st that fell last night was in the driveway at Croft Place. Damaged multiple cars. You can see one under it if you zoom in on the third photo.
7:07 PM: Sent by Megan – trees still down in the 4000 block of 18th SW:
There are still 2 fallen trees blocking 18th Ave SW since 9:30 pm last night. This is a one-lane road and the only access. Every house after the trees, like mine, cannot leave. We called 911 last night because the trees also took down power lines. I called again a few hours ago and were told our case was called in but no idea when help will come.
ADDED: Sent Sunday night by Nathan:
Just wanted to warn parents and kids heading to Gatewood Elementary in the morning that there is a tree down and leaning on a power line on the West side of 44th Ave SW, near Myrtle – across from the school. We’ve alerted SCL but they have yet to respond.
