never lost power though the south end of town did. I know this intersection where these trees got tipped. Doesn't look like they have deep roots to me. Weird..........

during high winds. If they aren't too heavy they can often be pulled back upright and staked. My neighbor managed to pull three of his back up with the aid of a backhoe after Charley, and they are all doing fine now.
