Re: What Ike did in my hood.
It blew over all of my trees...luckily they are small enough I can just stand them back up. I hope they live. My Dad's place in Montgomery didn't fare as well. He lost 11 old growth Oak tress. One in particular was a tall Red Oak over 100 yrs. The white oaks seemed to hold up better but the red oak roots dont go very deep, so they toppled. We think it was a down burst or a tornado of some type that did most of the damage up and down Kuykendahl and up into Montgomery along 2978, and Honea Egypt Road. It seems like all of the damage along that North South Line pointed all the trees to fall in the same 2 directions. The either fell South or East. Beats me. It was a mess up here. I pray for those who experienced much much worse down south who lost everything. I cant imagine what they are going through,
