Vitanuova for 2002 December 21 (entry 2)

< Boston
Reading >

There was a huge storm here, and our plane landed right in the middle of it, producing what might be the worst turbulence I've ever felt on a plane. It was really scary. The plane was shaking back and forth right up to the moment we landed, making me worry about whether we could miss the runway. But ultimately everything went well for us.

The same storm, however, caused a few blackouts during the evening, and probably cause me to lose some e-mail. It also caused the upper half of the neighbors' tree to fall into our back yard. The view from my window is much different now. And I learned from Ronnie that the storm took down both trees in her backyard, one of which is a redwood. That redwood had been standing in her yard, or what became her yard, for over a century, and this storm was enough to destroy it. That's quite a storm, and I feel sorry for Jason and Ronnie, because the redwood was one of the most wonderful things about their house.

I used to remark that in California it was even possible to have a redwood in your backyard. Perhaps it's no longer possible these days.
