I saw several police cars pull up at the other end of this block of Massachusetts Avenue and couldn’t figure out why there were there until I saw this. There was no ambulance, so I’m assuming that luckily nobody was injured, but yikes – this is the fourth major tree collapse that I’ve seen in the past two months within two blocks of home. This occurred after a violent thunderstorm; we then had a worse storm in the evening with a tornado watch for DC, Virginia and Maryland. We also had some flooding in our basement (but mainly due to a window that a contractor hadn't totally closed).

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.
