And you thought your house got hit hard by the torrential rains of the last two days! A reader sent in this photo of the tree that used to stand in her back yard. Since it’s as tall as a five-story house it reached as far as four-yards away when it toppled yesterday. The estimated cost of removal? $1,800. It’s pretty amazing it didn’t crush any fences or nice garden furniture. (Gotta love those 130-foot lots they got over there.)
