Vancouver wind storm strikes the HH

We had a really bad wind storm over easter weekend, so bad that it blew a bunch of boat ashore in the bay, and broke a bunch of trees all over the place. well, i wandered over to the hepler hotel, and found this in the front yard!

well, i called up bill and told him to check out his front yard, and to bring a chainsaw.
so, we spent the rest of the afternoon chopping up the broken limbs, and i got to spend some quality time with a chainsaw.

Fun times!

well, today i went by and bill had people trim up the rest of the tree so that the next windstorm doesnt take more branches out. but it looks pretty sad right now. :(
