WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Tree blocking SW Hanford

6:37 PM: Thanks to everyone who has sent photos of that tree down, blocking SW Hanford near 39th. (The photo above is from Angela.) Forecasters warn that as the rain/wind waves keep coming through, we’re likely to see more trees tumble, as the ground is saturated.

6:58 PM: A texter just sent that closer-up view of where the tree fell through a fence.

P.S. A crew was on scene a bit later in the evening so we’re hopeful it’ll be cleared by morning – if it’s not, please let us know – text or voice 206-293-6302.

6:51 AM: Still blocked, a caller tells us.

Lucky – at least it didn’t fall on the house.

Incredibly lucky it fell away from structures! I guess that’s one way to slow drivers down in that school zone nobody pays attention to…

Still in the road as of 9am when I drove through. Agree with it being very lucky that it didn’t fall into the houses. We had a tree like this hit our house several years ago, they are very heavy and cause a lot of damage.
