Thankfully we didn’t get hit anything like Southside did, though Evelyn did run across this one tree vs car moment from last night’s storm.

Tree ALWAYS win!
The tree fell sometime yesterday morning, before the storm even came through.
A massive tree limb fell off a large tree on Chimborazo near Broad and that was a day or two before the storm. It took down some power lines and barely missed hitting a couple who just walked by. The branches came down on a house porch but didn’t do damage. This is happening more and more with older trees that rarely receive pruning and all the trees Dominion hastily and unprofessionally cuts away from above ground lines. Those trees usually drop branches atop parked cars in the icy winter months. I heard Dominion has a proposal into the State Corp Commission that would open the doors to moving power lines underground in certain neighborhoods. I nominate CH to be one of those neighborhoods. Hoping it will get done before Dominion deforests the entire community.
