This may be the first tree to come down in the storm they are calling "Frankinstorm". This was the scene on Euclid Ave around 3:30 or 4:00PM today.

A large tree fell and took down a few electric lines and some phone and cable TV lines.

I may jerk your chain occasionally, Stony, but between your posts and photos you keep me pretty well informed about my old home town. Thanks!

Your welcome, your welcome, and your welcome.

This is just the first of what might be many trees coming down in Bradford due to Her-icane Sandy!

Roulette's power is out. The governor said today that with the ground this wet, 40 mile per hour winds will drop trees. They are reporting sustained winds of 40-65 that are heading our way.
We will all likely lose power and internet service (except for the smart phone crowd) (the very people we'd all like to see lose internet service!) (LOL!).

Oh the humanity of it all. How will Bradford weather the storm?

Only time will tell. What is the biggest challenge Bradford faces?

Without electricity, all the towns tattoo guns will be rendered useless! Unless the tattoo artists have their own emergency generators OR they are given the use of a room or two, or perhaps their own wing at the hospital! This storm could possibly delay the application of several tattoos! Several people will have to find something else to spend their welfare check on! They may have to rent more furniture, or a bigger screen TV, or order more take out food!

I wonder when our mayor will declare Bradford a disaster area?

He hasn't done it yet!

LOL! (I hope some of you got that one!)

That's just a spring breeze in this area. Once in a while we get a 90-100 mph blow through here. A feller with a chainsaw can make a right good livin'...... :wink:

It wasnt Sandy, but it was obviously winds preceding it...

Winds got here 10 hours before the hurricane, really, believe what you want.

So C5, just because the dead center of Sandy wasn't over that particular tree when it fell, are you saying the tree falling had nothing to do with the storm?

Here are the satellite photos from yesterday about when the tree fell.

There is a red dot that approximately shows where Bradford is.

The storm has been with us for a few days now.

So what your saying is that, before 6 PM, there wasn't any damage, flooding or winds that preceded it? LOL The crane in NY came down at around 2 PM, guess that was a fluke.

Sandy was reported to be 1000 miles in diameter, by NASA, now you have a look at this image and tell me if it was sandy that caused the winds.

This is what the weather event looked like at 9:10 AM EDT, according to NASA: (But who knows. They probably just don't know how to do the math) you can see the obvious circular edge going way past where we are, at 9:10 AM
