Tuesday: A tornado warning popped up on my screen again today at 12:15. This time it was a little more urgent than last night's. A check of my weather app confirmed an actual tornado in Yarmouth, about 12 miles from us. On the map was a warning swatch that put THAT system over us at 12:30.
These photos show the weather at that time. We lost 2 big locust trees and the neighborhood had a few more smaller trees along with big branches down. We didn't see any actual circulation, but it was VERY powerful wind.
This was minimal to what others have been dealing with.

Lewis Taylor Farms workers ensure quality squash are harvested and those that do not make the cut are cut off the plant to promote the growth of better ones that are still on the plants, in Fort Valley, GA, on May 7, 2019.
The farm is co-owned by William L. Brim and Edward Walker and their operation includes bell peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, squash, strawberries, tomatoes, cantaloupe, watermelon and a variety of specialty peppers on 6,500 acres; cotton and peanuts on 1,000 acres and a variety of pine seedlings, such as the long-leaf pine.
Near the greenhouses are circular crops of long-leaf pine seedlings under a pivot irrigation system equipped with micro sprinklers. Long-leaf pines are an indigenous tree in the Southeast. Growers are working to increase the number of this slower growing hearty hardwood tree in this region.
Mr. Brim talks about the immigration and disaster relief challenges following Hurricane Michael. USDA helped this farm with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) for structural damage cleanup. He also mentions the importance of having Secretary Sonny Perdue, a person with an agricultural background, come visit and listen to 75 producers six months ago, in southern Georgia.

Windy, rainy weather caused power outages around Western Washington. The National Weather Service issued a high wind warning for locations in our Northern service area, with gusts up to 55 miles per hour.

February 23, 2019: Ten days after two large branches fell from this tree, it stands waiting to be cut down.
Weakened by drought, and damaged by the loss of three large limbs in the past four years, it has been marked by the city for removal.

These trees are the remnants of the Tatranska Bora wind that knocked over pine trees for tens of thousands of acres back on 19 November 2004 in the Tatras Mountain National Park region of Slovakia. The effects of this natural devastation are still very evident throughout this part of the country and the rivers and valleys are still littered with timber. This particular view is from the Studeny Potok just north of Tatranska Lesna. Compositionally, I wish I could have adjusted that large foreground rock about 8 inches or so to the right but it wasn't possible to take up a suitable POV and my efforts to pick the rock up failed ;) View large if you have time.
Cheers!

Some other trees that were blown over, mostly pines, away from the watering system in our retirement community snapped maybe 20 feet above the ground. Apparently their roots were stronger, although that didn’t save them from Hurricane Michael’s winds (which were perhaps only minimal category 1 level here in Tallahassee). iPhone 6+ photo.

Video of workers clearing away the limbs that had fallen from my neighbor's tree - see flic.kr/p/2dCK5Nj.
That chipping machine is terrifyingly efficient. I missed catching it on video, but it digested the largest parts of the fallen limbs with what appeared to be relative ease.

This happened while I was away. Must have been a hell of a wind! It's a huge teaching opportunity for these curious kids.
Two-year-old pecan trees are dwarfed by mature pecan trees at Mason Pecan orchards, in Fort Valley GA, on May 8, 2019.
Two years ago, owner Thomas Mason reached out to U.S. Department of Agriculture to address the farming challenges that resulted from Hurricane Irma. 800 of 2,400 10-year old trees were downed by the wind. USDA Farm Service Agency’s Tas Smith was there to help. The orchard had to be cleared of debris before harvesting the surviving trees. The challenge is raising saplings alongside newly mature 12-year-old trees that require different levels of nutrients and care. This orchard’s yield will be cut by 1/3 until the saplings reach 12 years of age. Along the rows of trees and cover crop, burn sites, where tree cuttings were disposed of, are still seen in the orchard. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

Two years ago, Mason Pecan owner Thomas Mason reached out to U.S. Department of Agriculture to address the farming challenges that resulted from Hurricane Irma. 800 of his 2,400 10-year old trees were downed by the wind. USDA Farm Service Agency’s Tas Smith was there to help. The challenges began with an orchard had to be cleared of debris before harvesting the surviving trees.

February 28, 2019: It took less than two hours to cut down and remove the remains of the tree yesterday.
After looking at that tree for more than 24 years, it's odd and sad to see that it's gone.
