“At base of the Klingle Valley Trail. An area with almost zero car traffic. Huge mature tree fell. The woman inside the car is incredibly lucky to be unhurt. Two feet and it would have been a different story. Car is totaled, whole front including windshield and good portion of roof is smashed. DCFD was on scene to cut away the tree trunk to get her out.
These recent storms and extreme heat seem to be taking down more big trees than I can remember lately.”
