Hazardous trees are causing problems in Sacramento County due to the recent inclement weather. Storms have caused both trees and tree limbs to fall. It has also led to power outages and in some areas, flooding. As trees are uprooted, the chances of danger to residents are increased. In locations along the American River Parkway, 31 trees have been recognized as hazardous, and park officials are saying they will have to be removed.
Reports of fallen trees have kept crews busy in Citrus Heights lately as local resident, Linda Powers, knows only too well. An enormous 200-foot-tall pine tree crashed down on her property on February 27 in the middle of the night. She heard it and believed it was thunder but found out otherwise in the morning when she discovered her tree had fallen, causing minor damage to her Jeep and tearing the property’s sprinkler system and fence out of the soil. Thank goodness, the tree missed landing on the house, and no one was injured.
