The tallest trees are ordsprog
 The storm was fairly well behaved. The winds have not been as strong as they could have been [to be a blizzard]. We're seeing widespread power outages. We're not seeing trees all over the place. |
| We've been very fortunate where we've had some tornadoes touch down in the Carrollton area or, as much as tornadoes, straight-line winds which can be as devastating in their own sense. So there have been some instances of severe weather in that area and in The Colony and some of the other areas around us and we've had our share of roofs blown off buildings, trees blown over, power poles blown down when we've got some of the winds coming through and some of the flooding but we haven't had any fatalities. |
| Normally that's not a big deal. But all the trees still have leaves on them and the soil is very saturated from the rain. That makes it easier for the winds to drag down trees. |
| [Evans said work crews from the city's public works department went out at 7:50 a.m. Saturday to clear the streets of fallen trees and broken branches. After the highest winds of the day came through in the early afternoon, work crews went back out and had all city streets in passable condition. By 3:18 p.m., the workers were home getting some well-earned rest and a stand-by crew was on duty.] There were quite a bit of down trees, but nothing anything like we would have had if we would have had the really big winds, ... We're very fortunate. |
| That's a big concern right now with these storms coming on the heels of a very wet week. The soil is saturated, and the high winds that are supposed to accompany these storms could potentially knock down trees, which often take down power lines with them. |

| Right now, there is quite a bit of uncertainty with the situation. We're looking for a new storm system moving in (tomorrow), and we're looking for rains, possibly to persist into the weekend. This one looks like it might produce some winds and thunderstorms where it hits hard and blasts through, affecting the entire state at different times. |
| There's power lines, trees, utility poles and everything else on the road. I didn't care if I was going to have to move the trees myself. |
| There were quite a bit of down trees, but nothing anything like we would have had if we would have had the really big winds. We're very fortunate. |
| The Mt. Baker Ski Area near Seattle set the U.S. record in the 1998-99 season with 1,140 inches - exactly 95 feet. If you visualize 95 feet in terms of Kansas' tallest trees ... well, that's a LOT of snow. |
| Some of the trees were old and sick. They weren't made to resist winds like that. |
