Hurricane Irene knocks out trees in Crofton MD

Residents of Crofton, Maryland, were very fortunate during Hurricane Irene. We didn't lose power and, as far as I know, there wasn't any major damage. We did have some fallen branches and trees, but road crews were out early to clear most of them off the road. The first photo was taken on my street when I left home about 10 a.m., but the tree was out of the street and its pieces were stacked nearby when I returned home an hour later.
