“Pulled Up in Old Greenwich” sends along this news article with the comment, “what are the odds?”
An uprooted tree broke a gas line in the area of Shore and Nawthorne roads in Old Greenwich, prompting the evacuation of about a dozen homes in the area for about an hour, officials said.
I seem to recall a lone dissenter at the hearing held to discuss removing decayed, dying trees along Nawthorne. The neighbors who insisted that the trees were just fine and good for another ten years or so “won”.
Hey; their street, their houses, but I’d say, in answer to Pulled Up’s question, that the odds were pretty good.
Mother Nature’s bad timing. Should’a happened tonight…
I had a dead tree on my property next to the street. I say “had” because without so much as a notice taped to the front door my town came around last week and cut it down and removed it. I was fine with that, and glad they did it and saved my the trouble.
This requires a hearing in Greenwich?
