trees ... good reporting . I enjoyed it .

Thursday afternoon a violent thunderstorm tore through Philly, with wind gusts
clocked at 75mph (~120km/h). Lots of trees came down, and some areas still
don't have electricity (and it's 92F/33C).
A large maple came down on our block, doing minor damage to a few houses on the
way:

In the park across the street, five huge, beautiful sycamores came down. Despite the
destruction a "party atmosphere" prevailed 2 hours after the storm:

The park has the world's only statue of Charles Dickens, but area was a bit
messy:

Tree crews have worked steadily, and Saturday this was all that was left.
Somehow, the bare logs make the scale of the damage clearer:
