Mighty Oak No More

It all started Friday evening. That storm of very fast straight line winds ripped through the area. It knocked down trees and shredded leaves from the limbs. Mr Oak stood and did not give.

Sunday night a big thunderstorm moved through the area with high winds and rain. Again Mr. Oak was standing strong but had been weakened by the storm on Friday. All of a sudden Mr. Oak was down.

Mr. Oak had stood on that spot for more than a 100 years. If that tree could talk what stories it could tell. As with all living creatures death is a certainty. It is sad to see a massive tree end up in a heap.
