South Pasadena is still discovering the tree casualties of recent hurricane-force winds. Many damaged trees that didn't fall during the storm are now awaiting removal. (Sigh.)
Removal because they've been seriously compromised? Or removal because someone is overreacting and pulling down every tree that might come down if there's another once-every-50-years windstorm? Stand by for serious over reaction...
A neighbor on El Centro is losing a big tree. It got pulled halfway out and they say it won't root itself again. I wonder if they've seen a tree specialist about it.
My mother has a tree thats fallen over. A semi small acacia I believe can be saved because the leaves aren't wilting. A fellow inquiring about what I planned on doing (saving it) immediately launched into "it can't be saved-it will always be unstable" Guess what he does? noise of chain saw riving up.

And now all this rain! I worry about the people who had trees fall on their roofs.
