Tree broken from the roots

Tree broken and cut up

By Sabreena

When I was walking by my college one day, I looked across the street and saw this. A tree was pulled from the ground and took its roots along with it. The winds must have been pretty strong to bring this tree down. When you look closely,  you can see how big the roots are and how far it was pulled out.  The tree was was later cut into small pieces and moved so it doesn’t get in the way of the street and the side walk.

Later when I visited the same place a few hours later, the tree was gone. Good thing I took a picture before they removed it.
