We have approximately 600 to 700 trees uprooted and down,

I know how to get out of the trees pretty good.

I like the trees here a lot more than other areas.

A lot of times we can get trees out without scarring other trees.

When we get some rain, we're going to have a lot more trees fall.

Trees can't do their thing unless they are in the right spot.

We didn't even know what trees are here, ... They've got trees there. What we have are twigs.

This beautiful, established canopy of trees is just gone. It's just firewood.

It went through trees before it got into the city.

I reached down to feel the soil, and I touched the outreaching roots of the trees that bore horizontally and vertically hundreds of feet through the forest. I stroked the earth with my palm, and I could almost feel that invisible network of capillary roots that sucks moisture and nutrients out of every inch of the soil I was standing on. I breathed in and out. I was part of the forest. I was alive.
