Winds picked up on Wednesday afternoon accompanied by a lot of lightning and thunder. Power went out, but Antler Alert was able to notify residents that one strike had hit a tree, and the fire department was responding.
We didn't know until a couple of days later that the area around Manzanita Rd (Upper Deerhorn) had suffered some serious wind damage. Almost as if a small tornado had touched down.
Stevie Dillon (former DV'er) reported, "I am hearing of terrific damage due to recent wind/rain storms. The Beenaus found a tree down, blocking their driveway, with phone/electric(?) lines draped in its branches. They are unable to get phone service until next Thursday! Also, a good part of their roof blew off. They have lost a number of manzanita trees. Debbie says her neighbor had house windows blown out."
Lyn Valdivia sent these photos of the damage at her place.
Did anyone else have a similar experience during last Wednesday's storm?
