Mary Ann Bilski of Paddock Lake tipped me to a pretty good illustration of what Thursday’s storm was capable a far as destruction — and it was right in her backyard.
Her neighbor’s huge cottonwood tree was toppled and fell onto John and Mary Ann’s boat and pier.
Here’s a few photos:
Bilski said she expects the view in her yard will be quite a bit different this summer with the tree gone.
“We got a lot of shade from that cottonwood,” Bilski said.
I am sad to see that tree gone. It was one of my favorite on the lake.
