A few beautiful old homes here in Sacramento were damaged or, in one case, totally destroyed by falling trees and other debris in this first of the three storms scheduled to hit us before Sunday evening. Most of these photographs are from the Sacramento Bee. Click the image for a slightly larger version.
In SoCal this often happens when cities trim the roots of the parkway trees to save or restore the sidewalk. The rain comes and the trees topple without the support. But those trees pulled their entire root systems out, along with the road! Hopefully the damage to homes was minimal. Roofs can be repaired.
