Sunday night and Monday morning brought severe storms to the Greensboro/Piedmont region. Cell phones were beeping a little after 5am yesterday with a tornado warning. The public schools cancelled their food distribution ahead of time due to concerns over the storm. Fortunately damage was not as bad as it could have been in the Greensboro area.

The above photo shows a tree that fell during a recent wind storm. Considering how bad the damage could have been, the house on this property was relatively spared. The guys in the photo are the crew from Bill’s Tree Service that cut up the 90′ tree, hauled it away, and cleaned up all of the mess the tree left behind. It pays to have good insurance and a little bit of good luck in these situations. We so desperately need our mature tree canopy, but is is a challenge to figure out which trees are healthy and which are at risk of falling. Here’s to sunny day today full of smiles and laughter.
