The storms yesterday morning made much news, of course, both in terms of destruction (downed trees and power lines) and rainfall (Chicago is well on track for the rainiest summer ever). The tree I wrote about yesterday made the news as well. It was featured in an article on the Chicago Tribune website, though the caption strangely claims that the tree "came close to hitting a house." The building it narrowly missed is a tavern with an apartment above it; calling it "a house" stretches the definition more than a bit.
By the time I got back to my neighborhood last night, the remains of the tree had been cleared away. All that remained: leaves stuck on either side of the gap at the top of the fence that the falling tree created, and a sizable pile of sawdust beside what was left of the stump.
