Check out a look at the roots of an 82-year-old tree that fell during a thunderstorm in Omaha.
OMAHA It was the one tree the residents in a Dundee neighborhood thought would never fall.
They were wrong.
The huge oak, estimated by homeowner Charlie Agulla to be between 100- to 150-feet tall, silently toppled in last Saturday morning s hurricane-force winds. I didn t even know it happened, and I was awake, Agulla said.
It was the lone oak and a landmark on a block with silver maples that everyone thought would tumble first.
When the old oak fell, it decimated a huge pine tree and a redbud tree, spreading across the Agullas front yard and their neighbor s driveway.
