We lost a magnificent 100-year-old elm on our block in Woodley Park. Thank god, no one was hurt -- fell directly across the street, just grazing four row houses on the other side, with the trunk somehow coming to rest inches above two parked cars.

Shockingly, a tree crew made it out by 8am Sunday morning. A mere 6 hours later, using a huge crane, chain saws, a chipper truck, and a dump truck, they'd carved up and hauled away enough of the corpse to re-open the road.

Given that the street is only two blocks long, didn't seem like the highest priority -- we figured that Pepco hadn't given clearance for crews to work on most of the other downed trees yet, because of danger from electric wires. Our Pepco service is underground, not a flicker, though internet cable service was out until Sunday. (Fortunately, our internet is wireless, so no issues at all.)
