I just now found this site by
I just now found this site by accident. For the record and what it's worth, some of the tree's major roots were cut up by City crews because of pavement damage. There should be a work order on file if it hasn't been expurgated. The tree was leaning in the direction in which it fell, and there was post-incident evidence of tension stress on the opposite side. Compression evidence was hidden under the tree, as is common in such cases. I interviewed the homeowner across the street.
