Storm Topples 50-Foot Tree In Rossmoor

ROSSMOOR, CA — A quiet street in the community of Rossmoor heard the crack! and boom of this enormous tree toppling into the street, early Thursday.

Authorities closed Martha Ann Drive within the unincorporated Rossmoor community for the removal of huge limbs that blocked traffic during the removal. Orange County Public Works officials used chainsaws to cut apart the tree and hauled it away.

The 50-foot tree fell both onto a home, across the sidewalk and into the road, pictures show.
