After day after day after day of heavy rain topped off by 6 inches overnight, it was just a little too much for this old oak tree. All of these old oak trees took a hit back in early 2008 when a tornado twisted through here, topping most of the oaks’ branches. It spared them at the time, and so I don’t know if this is residual damage from all those years ago, I doubt it. But a mighty giant has fallen and the poor squirrel has lost one of his freeways - and I have yet another mess to clean up.
