California’s capital city is known for the many trees that fill up its parks and line its streets. But persistent storms that have hit the so-called “City of Trees” and other parts of the state have damaged homes, vehicles and power lines.
“Before we could make a decision, both trees fell — one on our house and one on our neighbor’s house,” Goffard said Monday.
In a park surrounding the state Capitol that functions like an outdoor museum of the state’s flora with 400 varieties of plants and trees, the storm toppled a massive pine onto the side of the road and wind smashed fruit off trees and onto the pavement. After, the scent of oranges hung in the air. “We’ve had one natural disaster after another, but we always rebuild and always come back,” she said.
