Tree Down

It's not exactly farming news, but a big tree falling down is always worth a sentence or two. During a fast-moving storm last night, an old Norway maple fell over not far from the historic John Phillips farmhouse. At first, lightening was suspected, but upon further inspection it appears the tree was rotted with age and fell over in the wind and rain.

According to Farmer Pete, who was at the farm yesterday before, during, and after the storm, Dry Run Creek transformed from completely dry to a rushing torrent of water in less than an hour.
