It appears the roots just gave out under the onslaught of rain. Fortunately no one was near the oak when it fell and there was no property damage. Kudos to VDOT for getting out here in an hour to cut it up and reopen the road. A couple of more trees are down the next street over as well. <br /><br />Emergency vehicles with sirens have been going up and down Lawyers Road all day.<br /><br />According to WJLA-TV, as of 5:00 p.m. more than five inches of rain have fallen in Reston today, the vast majority of it since noon.<br /><br />I actually see some blue sky as I'm writing this, but we are supposed to get more rain today and tomorrow.Peasant From Less Sought After South Restonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-90546893979214254822011-09-08T17:39:06.816-04:002011-09-08T17:39:06.816-04:00Wiehle Avenue has been a cluster-you-know-what mos...Wiehle Avenue has been a cluster-you-know-what most of the afternoon.
