West Seattle storm scenes: Wind, waves, tide, trees…

In case you’ve been in an office all day – yes, it’s been stormy! Even some mid-afternoon thunder. And, with some blasts of ferocious wind, more tree trouble:

Lara adds that she’s found it almost impossible to book a tree-removal service. (Any tips?)

Linda says she came home to find a car on her street in Morgan Junction with apparent tree-branch damage, and sent these photos:

Meantime, we went to the shore to see what would happen around late-afternoon high tide, what with the “coastal flood advisory.” South of Alki Point, wind-fueled waves brought salt water up over the seawall again:

Another advisory is in effect for early tomorrow morning; 5:37 am brings an 11.6-foot high tide in this area.

When a big dogwood crashed into our house a couple of weeks ago, we had good luck with Bushman Tree Service in Renton.

Thanks Max! I was able to get Ballard Tree Service to come out. They were awesome – fast, friendly, careful, & informational. I definitely recommend them if anybody else suffers from tree on house. :) I’m going to call them back for regular tree maintenance.

Sorry, comment time is over.
