My Jacaranda tree being windblown during an intense El Niño storm yesterday


My Jacaranda tree being windblown during an intense El Niño storm yesterday

We had gale-force winds and very heavy rains...also, a very, very unusual tornado warning for a few hours in San Diego, CA. yesterday (Jan. 19, 2010)

Poor plants :-/
The winds are SO destructive.
We get strong south westerlies here in the spring and they wreak havoc in my gardens :-((

Yes, these storms have bee very destructive to the plants! The plants/trees are not used to such unusually strong rain/wind storms...as we don't receive much rain here....with the exception of an El Niño year. (which we're having)

Sandra:

Yes, and by the end of today many more trees will be down.
